Zenless Zone Zero: New Event Teased for Version 1.5

A recent leak suggests Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 update will feature a new, temporary event: "Grand Marcel," incorporating a multiplayer platformer game mode. This mode, reminiscent of Fall Guys, will likely offer unique gameplay distinct from the battle-focused permanent modes introduced in Version 1.4.

The leak, originating from community leaker Palito, includes screenshots showcasing stages strikingly similar to Fall Guys. While the specifics remain unclear, the event is anticipated to provide valuable rewards, potentially including Polychromes and additional free pulls (as previously rumored). It's uncertain whether players will control their established characters or the popular Bangboo within this platformer mode.

This isn't HoYoverse's first foray into platformer events; Honkai Impact 3rd's "Midnight Chronicle" event (6.1 update, 2022) featured similar Fall Guys-style gameplay with chibi character representations. This precedent suggests a similar approach might be adopted for Zenless Zone Zero, though the potential for Bangboo-centric gameplay remains a possibility.

Version 1.5, slated for January 22nd, also promises the addition of Astra Yao and Evelyn to the playable roster, a highly anticipated character skin for Nicole, and potentially an Agent Story for Ellen. The inclusion of the Grand Marcel event further enhances the update's appeal, offering a diverse gameplay experience alongside the new characters and content.
