A recent leak about Zenless Zone Zero has uncovered a new multiplayer platformer event for Version 1.5, expected to launch in late January with new characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, alongside additional content.

In December, Zenless Zone Zero released Version 1.4, introducing two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo, plus two permanent combat-focused game modes. The game often includes temporary modes for special events, offering unique gameplay. For instance, the recent "Bangboo vs Ethereal" event featured a tower defense mode with Bangboo. A new leak suggests another distinctive mode is coming in Version 1.5.

Leaker Palito shared that Version 1.5 will include a multiplayer platformer mode, with screenshots showing stages reminiscent of Fall Guys. This mode is likely exclusive to the "Grand Marcel" event and may not be permanent. It remains unclear whether players will control their chosen character or a Bangboo. The event is expected to offer rewards like Polychromes, alongside rumored extra free pulls for Version 1.5.

Zenless Zone Zero Leak Showcases New Platformer Event

Although a platformer mode is new for Zenless Zone Zero, developer HoYoverse has experience with similar events. In 2022, Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update featured "Midnight Chronicle," a Fall Guys-inspired event where players used chibi versions of characters. Zenless Zone Zero might adopt a similar approach, possibly featuring Bangboo, which are already popular in modes like Hollow Zero. Fans have been eager for more chances to play as Bangboo.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 is slated for release on January 22, adding Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn to the roster. Leaks also suggest Nicole, a fan-favorite since launch, will receive the game’s first character skin. Additionally, rumors indicate Ellen, another original character, may get her own Agent Story in the update.
