A leaked Zenless Zone Zero update reveals a new Version 1.5 event featuring a Fall Guys-style multiplayer platformer game mode. This temporary event, tentatively titled "Grand Marcel," will likely offer rewards such as Polychromes and additional free pulls, according to the leak.
The leak, originating from community leaker Palito, showcases screenshots of various stages reminiscent of Fall Guys. While the specifics remain unclear, the mode may not be permanent and could be exclusive to the "Grand Marcel" event. It's also uncertain whether players will control their usual characters or the popular Bangboo.
This platformer mode would be a significant departure from Zenless Zone Zero's primarily battle-focused gameplay. However, HoYoverse, the developer, has precedent for similar events, having included a Fall Guys-inspired mode in Honkai Impact 3rd's 6.1 update. That event featured chibi versions of Honkai characters, suggesting a similar approach might be used in Zenless Zone Zero, potentially using Bangboo.
Version 1.5, slated for release on January 22nd, is anticipated to include the addition of Astra Yao and Evelyn to the playable roster, along with a potential character skin for Nicole and a new Agent Story for Ellen. The inclusion of this platformer event adds another layer of excitement to the upcoming update.
