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 from Zenless Zone Zero has sparked excitement among fans by revealing an upcoming event featuring a platformer-like game mode set to launch with Version 1.5. This eagerly awaited update is scheduled for late January and will introduce new characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with a host of fresh content.
In December, Zenless Zone Zero rolled out Version 1.4, which brought two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo to the game. The update also introduced two permanent battle-focused gameplay modes. However, Zenless Zone Zero is known for its temporary events that offer unique gameplay experiences. For instance, the "Bangboo vs Ethereal" limited event recently added a tower defense mode featuring Bangboo. Now, according to a leak from community leaker Palito, Zenless Zone Zero is gearing up to introduce a multiplayer platformer game mode in Version 1.5.
The leak includes screenshots of various stages that bear a striking resemblance to popular titles like Fall Guys. This new mode is expected to be part of the "Grand Marcel" event, which will be temporary rather than permanent. While it's not clear whether players will navigate these platform stages as their chosen characters or as Bangboo, the event promises to offer enticing rewards, including Polychromes and additional free pulls rumored for Version 1.5.
Zenless Zone Zero Leak Reveals Platformer Game Mode Event
This platformer gameplay mode marks a new venture for Zenless Zone Zero. Developer HoYoverse has previously experimented with a similar concept in Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update in 2022, where the "Midnight Chronicle" event featured Fall Guys-like stages with chibi versions of the game's characters. This precedent suggests that Zenless Zone Zero might adopt a similar approach, though the game's popular Bangboo characters could also take the spotlight. Fans have been eager for more opportunities to play as Bangboo, especially following their inclusion in modes like Hollow Zero.
Scheduled for release on January 22, Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 is set to expand the playable roster with the addition of Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn. Earlier leaks also hinted at the game's first character skin for Nicole, a fan-favorite since the game's launch, and rumors of an Agent Story for another day-one character, Ellen, in the upcoming patch.
