Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 Leak Hints at Fall Guys-Style Platformer Event
A recent leak suggests a new event for Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 update, featuring a multiplayer platformer game mode reminiscent of Fall Guys. This temporary event, tentatively titled "Grand Marcel," is expected to arrive alongside the update's launch in late January.
Version 1.4, released in early December, introduced two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo, along with two permanent battle-focused game modes. However, Zenless Zone Zero has a history of incorporating temporary, event-specific game modes offering diverse gameplay experiences, such as the current "Bangboo vs Ethereal" tower defense event.
The leak, originating from community leaker Palito, showcases screenshots of stages strongly resembling Fall Guys' obstacle courses. While the leak doesn't confirm whether players will utilize their main characters or Bangboo avatars, the event is anticipated to offer substantial rewards, including Polychromes and potentially additional free pulls.
This isn't HoYoverse's first foray into platformer events. Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update in 2022 included a similar "Midnight Chronicle" event. This precedent suggests Zenless Zone Zero might adopt a similar approach, potentially featuring chibi versions of existing characters or the popular Bangboo.
Version 1.5, slated for January 22nd, is also expected to introduce the highly anticipated characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with a potential character skin for Nicole and a possible Agent Story for Ellen. The addition of a platformer event further enhances the anticipation surrounding this update.
