Summary

• A Zenless Zone Zero leak suggests a new event with a platformer game mode for Version 1.5.
• The leak hints at a temporary Grand Marcel event with a multiplayer platformer akin to Fall Guys.

A new leak for Zenless Zone Zero has unveiled an exciting event featuring a platformer-like game mode set to launch in Version 1.5. Scheduled for late January, this update will also introduce new characters, Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with other fresh content.

Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.4, which launched in December, brought two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo, along with two permanent battle-focused gameplay modes. However, the game is known for its temporary event modes that offer unique gameplay experiences. The recent "Bangboo vs Ethereal" event, for instance, introduced a tower defense mode centered around Bangboo. Now, according to a leak from community leaker Palito, Zenless Zone Zero is gearing up to add a multiplayer platformer mode in Version 1.5.

The leak includes screenshots of various stages reminiscent of games like Fall Guys. This platformer mode is expected to be part of the "Grand Marcel" event, which might not be a permanent addition to the game. It remains uncertain whether players will navigate these stages as their favorite characters or as Bangboo. Participants in the event can anticipate rewards such as Polychromes and additional free pulls, rumored to be part of Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5.

Zenless Zone Zero Leak Reveals Platformer Game Mode Event

While a platformer mode would be a novel addition to Zenless Zone Zero, developer HoYoverse has previously experimented with similar events in other titles. For example, Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update in 2022 featured the "Midnight Chronicle" event, where players competed in Fall Guys-like stages as chibi versions of the game's characters. This precedent suggests that Zenless Zone Zero could follow suit, though the game's popular Bangboo characters might also take center stage, as fans have long requested more opportunities to play as them.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 is slated for release on January 22. This update will not only introduce Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn but also potentially feature Zenless Zone Zero's first character skin for Nicole, a fan-favorite since the game's launch. Rumors also hint at an Agent Story for Ellen, another day-one character, in the upcoming patch.
