A leaked Zenless Zone Zero update reveals a 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 potentially additional free pulls, according to the leak.
The leak, originating from community leaker Palito, includes screenshots showcasing stages reminiscent of Fall Guys. While the specific playable characters remain unconfirmed, the possibility of playing as either the player's chosen character or the popular Bangboo exists. This temporary mode contrasts with Version 1.4's additions of two permanent battle-focused modes. The "Bangboo vs Ethereal" event, currently running, already showcases HoYoverse's trend of introducing unique temporary game modes.
This platformer event echoes a similar event, "Midnight Chronicle," in HoYoverse's Honkai Impact 3rd, which also featured Fall Guys-like gameplay with chibi characters. Given the popularity of Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero, their inclusion in this new mode is a strong possibility.
The Version 1.5 update, slated for January 22nd, is anticipated to introduce Astra Yao and Evelyn as playable characters, along with a potential character skin for Nicole and a new Agent Story for Ellen, according to previous leaks. The addition of this platformer event adds another layer of excitement to the upcoming update.
