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 offer a gameplay experience distinct from the battle-focused modes recently added in Version 1.4.
The leak, originating from community leaker Palito, includes screenshots showcasing stages reminiscent of Fall Guys. While the specifics remain unclear, the mode is expected to be temporary, exclusive to the Grand Marcel event. It's uncertain whether players will control their usual characters or the popular Bangboo. Rewards are rumored to include Polychromes and additional free pulls.
This isn't HoYoverse's first foray into platformer events; Honkai Impact 3rd's 2022 "Midnight Chronicle" event featured similar gameplay. Given the popularity of Bangboo, their inclusion in this mode is a possibility.
Version 1.5, slated for January 22nd, will also introduce Astra Yao and Evelyn as playable characters, along with a potential Nicole skin and a possible Agent Story for Ellen. The addition of this platformer event promises a diverse and engaging update for Zenless Zone Zero players.
