Earlier in December,Zenless Zone Zerolaunched Version 1.4, which added two new playable characters and an S-Rank Bangboo.

The event will likely grant players juicy rewards like Polychromes, aside from theextra free pulls rumored forZenless Zone ZeroVersion 1.5.
Zenless Zone Zero Leak Reveals Platformer Game Mode Event
While a platformer gameplay mode would be new toZenless Zone Zero, developer HoYoverse has previously introduced a similar event in another title. DuringHonkai Impact 3rd’s 6.1 update in 2022, an event called “Midnight Chronicle” had players compete inFall Guys-like stages. At that time, fans played as chibi versions ofHonkai Impact 3rdcharacters, so there is a chance thatZenless Zone Zeromight follow the same route. Of course,Zenless Zone Zero’s Bangbooare very popular as well. The game allows fans to play as Bangboo in certain scenarios like the Hollow Zero mode, but fans have long been asking for more opportunities to roam around as Bangboo.
Zenless Zone ZeroVersion 1.5 is set to arrive on January 22. The update will add the long-awaited Astra Yao and her bodyguard Evelyn to the playable roster. Earlier leaks also pointed atZenless Zone Zero’s first character skinfor Nicole, who has been a fan-favorite since the game launched. There were also rumors that another day-one character, Ellen, would receive her own Agent Story in the next patch.
