Summary

• A leaked Zenless Zone Zero event reveals a platformer-style game mode coming in Version 1.5
• The Grand Marcel event may feature a Fall Guys-inspired multiplayer obstacle course experience

A recent Zenless Zone Zero leak suggests Version 1.5 will introduce an exciting platformer event mode. Slated for late January, the update will bring new characters Astra Yao and Evelyn alongside fresh content.

Version 1.4 launched in December with two new agents, an S-Rank Bangboo, and permanent battle-focused modes. Zenless Zone Zero frequently supplements these with limited-time events featuring unique gameplay - currently running a Bangboo-themed tower defense mode. The latest leak indicates another creative temporary mode is on the way.

A New Platforming Experience Emerges

Trusted leaker Palito has uncovered details about a multiplayer platformer mode coming in Version 1.5. Leaked screenshots showcase obstacle course stages resembling Fall Guys mechanics. This Grand Marcel event appears temporary rather than permanent content.

The event will likely offer valuable rewards including Polychromes, complementing Version 1.5's rumored free pulls. Whether players control their agents or fan-favorite Bangboo remains uncertain, though both options would delight the community.

HoYoverse's Platformer Precedent

While novel for Zenless Zone Zero, HoYoverse previously experimented with platformer mechanics in 2022's Honkai Impact 3rd "Midnight Chronicle" event featuring chibi characters. Given Zenless Zone Zero's playful Bangboo mechanics - currently usable in Hollow Zero mode - many hope these adorable companions might become playable in the new courses.

Version 1.5's Promising Additions

Scheduled for January 22, Version 1.5 delivers highly-anticipated agents Astra Yao and Evelyn. Leaks also suggest Nicole's debut outfit and Ellen's Agent Story expansion. The platformer event would complement these major updates with lighthearted competitive gameplay, continuing Zenless Zone Zero's tradition of creative seasonal events.
