Rumor: Zenless Zone Zero Leak Teases New Permanent Mode Coming in Version 1.5

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5: Leaked Bangboo Dress-Up Mode to Become Permanent

New leaks suggest Zenless Zone Zero's Version 1.5 update will introduce a permanent Bangboo dress-up game mode, initially launched as a "Bangboo Beauty Contest" event. This mode, revealed by reliable leaker Flying Flame, centers on customizing the outfits of Eous, the game's mascot. Screenshots showcasing various clothing items for Eous have surfaced. While the mode itself will become permanent, event-specific rewards will be time-limited. Rumors also suggest this event may unlock a long-awaited skin for Nicole Demara.

This addition follows Version 1.4's release of new S-Rank characters, Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa (the latter being free), and two new permanent combat-focused game modes. The upcoming Version 1.5 update, slated for January 22nd, is expected to include additional content, including a potentially temporary platformer game mode, as suggested by other leaks.

HoYoverse has confirmed the arrival of new S-Rank characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, a new area, and a new main story chapter in Version 1.5. The developer's history of incorporating non-combat permanent game modes in other titles, such as Honkai: Star Rail's cocktail-making and Genshin Impact's card game, supports the likelihood of this dress-up mode becoming a permanent fixture. Further details are anticipated soon.

Key Takeaways:

• Permanent Dress-Up Mode: A Bangboo dress-up event, focusing on Eous' customization, will likely become a permanent game mode.
• Limited-Time Rewards: While the mode remains, event-specific rewards will be unavailable after the event concludes.
• Potential Nicole Demara Skin: Rumors suggest the event may unlock a new skin for Nicole Demara.
• Version 1.5 Content: The update will also include new S-Rank characters (Astra Yao and Evelyn), a new area, a new main story chapter, and potentially a temporary platformer mode.
