A leaked Zenless Zone Zero update reveals a potential Version 1.5 event featuring a Fall Guys-style multiplayer platformer game mode. This temporary event, tentatively titled "Grand Marcel," is expected to arrive alongside the late January release of Version 1.5, which introduces Astra Yao and Evelyn as playable characters.
Version 1.4 recently added two permanent battle-focused modes, but HoYoverse's history of incorporating temporary, unique game modes into special events continues. This new platformer mode, according to leaker Palito, will offer several distinct stages reminiscent of Fall Guys. While the leak suggests it's a limited-time event, players can anticipate rewards like Polychromes and potentially additional free pulls. The leak doesn't specify whether players will use their custom characters or Bangboo in this mode.
This isn't HoYoverse's first foray into platformer events. Honkai Impact 3rd's 2022 "Midnight Chronicle" event showcased a similar concept, utilizing chibi character versions. This precedent suggests a similar approach might be taken with Zenless Zone Zero, potentially featuring chibi versions of existing characters or even the popular Bangboo.
Version 1.5, slated for January 22nd, is anticipated to include Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with rumored additions such as Nicole's first character skin and Ellen's Agent Story. The inclusion of this platformer event adds further excitement to the upcoming update.
