Zenless Zone Zero: Version 1.5 Event Leak Revealed

Summary

• A leak suggests a new platformer game mode event, tentatively titled "Grand Marcel," for Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5.
• This temporary event will feature multiplayer platforming stages reminiscent of Fall Guys.

A recent leak reveals an exciting addition to Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 update: a platformer game mode. The update, anticipated for late January, will also introduce the characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with other content.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.4, released in December, included two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo, plus two permanent battle-focused modes. However, the game frequently features temporary event modes offering diverse gameplay experiences. For example, the current "Bangboo vs Ethereal" event incorporates a tower defense mode. This new leak points to another special mode.

Community leaker Palito reports a multiplayer platformer mode arriving in Version 1.5. Leaked screenshots showcase stages strikingly similar to Fall Guys. This mode appears exclusive to the "Grand Marcel" event and may not be permanent. Whether players control their usual characters or Bangboo remains unclear. The event is expected to offer rewards like Polychromes, in addition to the rumored extra free pulls for Version 1.5.

Zenless Zone Zero Leak Reveals Platformer Game Mode Event

While a platformer mode is new to Zenless Zone Zero, developer HoYoverse has precedent. Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update (2022) featured the "Midnight Chronicle" event, with Fall Guys-style stages and chibi character representations. Zenless Zone Zero might follow suit, potentially using chibi versions of existing characters or even the popular Bangboo, whose playable appearances (like in Hollow Zero mode) are highly requested by fans.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5, slated for January 22nd, will add Astra Yao and Evelyn to the playable roster. Previous leaks hinted at Nicole's first character skin and a possible Agent Story for Ellen.
