Summary
- Leaks suggest a new dress-up event in Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 may become a permanent game mode.
- The event, a Bangboo Beauty Contest, lets players customize the mascot Eous' costumes.
- New S-Rank characters are also anticipated in Version 1.5.
Recent leaks hint at a new, potentially permanent dress-up game mode arriving in Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5, launching January 22nd. While the update is imminent, community buzz reveals exciting details.
Version 1.4 delivered substantial content, including S-Rank units Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa (the latter free for all players), plus two permanent combat-focused game modes rewarding players with Polychrome and Boopon. While primarily an action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero has previously featured non-combat events, such as the "Bangboo vs Ethereal" tower defense event. Leaks suggest Version 1.5 will continue this trend with a new permanent addition.
Reliable leaker Flying Flame reports a Bangboo dress-up mode, initially introduced via a Bangboo Beauty Contest event, will become permanently available after Version 1.5 launches. This involves customizing outfits for Eous, the beloved mascot. Leaked screenshots showcase numerous clothing items for players to mix and match. While the mode becomes permanent, event-specific rewards will be time-limited. Rumors suggest this event may offer the long-awaited Nicole Demara skin.
Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Reveal New Permanent Bangboo Dress-Up Gameplay
Beyond the dress-up event, other leaks hint at a limited-time platformer game mode in Version 1.5. This aligns with HoYoverse's history of incorporating non-combat permanent game modes in other titles, such as Honkai: Star Rail's cocktail-making and Genshin Impact's Genius Invokation TCG.
HoYoverse has confirmed Version 1.5 will introduce S-Rank characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, a new area, and a new main story chapter. With the release date fast approaching, further details are expected soon.
