Summary
- Leaks suggest a new, potentially permanent dress-up event, a "Bangboo Beauty Contest," is coming to Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5.
- This event focuses on customizing outfits for the mascot, Eous.
- Version 1.5 is also expected to introduce new S-Rank characters.
Recent leaks hint at a fun new addition to Zenless Zone Zero in Version 1.5: a Bangboo dress-up event that may become a permanent game mode. While the update's official release is January 22nd, exciting details are already circulating.
Version 1.4 delivered a wealth of content, including S-Rank units Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa (the latter being free). It also added two permanent combat-focused game modes offering rewards like Polychrome and Boopon. While primarily an action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero has previously featured events with diverse gameplay, such as the "Bangboo vs Ethereal" tower defense event. Now, leaks suggest a non-combat mode is on the horizon.
Reliable leaker Flying Flame revealed a Bangboo dress-up mode, initially launched via a "Bangboo Beauty Contest," will become permanently available after Version 1.5's release. Players will customize Eous, the beloved mascot, with various clothing items. Leaked screenshots showcase a range of mix-and-match outfits. While the mode itself will remain, event-specific rewards will be time-limited. Rumors suggest this event may also introduce a long-awaited skin for Nicole Demara.
Zenless Zone Zero Leaks Reveal New Permanent Bangboo Dress-Up Gameplay
Beyond the dress-up event, other leaks point to a limited-time platformer game mode in Version 1.5. This aligns with HoYoverse's track record of incorporating non-combat permanent game modes in other titles, such as Honkai: Star Rail's cocktail-making and Genshin Impact's Genius Invokation TCG.
HoYoverse has confirmed Version 1.5 will introduce S-Rank characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, a new area, and a new chapter in the main story. With the release date fast approaching, more details are likely to emerge soon.
