Summary
- A Zenless Zone Zero leak suggests a new event featuring a platformer game mode for Version 1.5.
- The leak hints at a temporary Grand Marcel event with a multiplayer platformer similar to Fall Guys.
A recent leak from Zenless Zone Zero has unveiled an exciting new event featuring a platformer-like game mode scheduled for Version 1.5. This upcoming update, set to launch in late January, will introduce new characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with additional content.
In December, Zenless Zone Zero released Version 1.4, which included two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo. The update also introduced two permanent battle-focused gameplay modes. However, Zenless Zone Zero frequently rolls out temporary game modes during special events to offer diverse gameplay experiences. A recent example is the "Bangboo vs Ethereal" limited event, which introduced a tower defense mode featuring Bangboo. Now, another unique gameplay mode is on the horizon, as suggested by a new leak.
Community leaker Palito has disclosed that Zenless Zone Zero will feature a multiplayer platformer game mode in Version 1.5. The leak showcases screenshots of various stages reminiscent of games like Fall Guys. This mode is expected to be part of the temporary "Grand Marcel" event rather than a permanent addition. It's still uncertain whether players will navigate these platform stages as their chosen characters or as Bangboo. Participants in the event can look forward to earning rewards such as Polychromes, in addition to the rumored extra free pulls for Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5.
Zenless Zone Zero Leak Reveals Platformer Game Mode Event
While a platformer mode is a fresh addition to Zenless Zone Zero, developer HoYoverse has previously experimented with similar events. For instance, Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update in 2022 featured the "Midnight Chronicle" event, which included Fall Guys-like stages where players controlled chibi versions of the game's characters. This precedent suggests that Zenless Zone Zero might adopt a similar approach, though its popular Bangboo characters could also take the spotlight. Fans have been eager for more opportunities to play as Bangboo, particularly after their inclusion in scenarios like the Hollow Zero mode.
Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 is slated for release on January 22. This update will introduce the highly anticipated characters Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn to the playable roster. Earlier leaks have also hinted at Zenless Zone Zero's first character skin for Nicole, a fan-favorite since the game's launch. Additionally, there are rumors that another launch character, Ellen, will receive her own Agent Story in the upcoming patch.
