Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5: Leaked Bangboo Dress-Up Mode to Become Permanent
New leaks suggest Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 will introduce a permanent Bangboo dress-up game mode, initially launched as a "Bangboo Beauty Contest" event. This mode will allow players to customize the outfits of Eous, the game's mascot.
The upcoming Version 1.5 update, slated for January 22nd, is generating considerable buzz. While Version 1.4 delivered new S-Rank characters (Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa, the latter being free), two new permanent combat-focused game modes, and rewards like Polychrome and Boopon, Version 1.5 appears poised to add a different kind of gameplay experience.
Reliable leaker, Flying Flame, revealed details and screenshots of the event, showcasing various clothing items for Eous. Although the dress-up mode will become a permanent fixture, event-specific rewards will be time-limited. Rumors suggest this event may also offer a long-awaited skin for Nicole Demara.
Beyond the dress-up mode, other leaks hint at a temporary platformer game mode. This aligns with HoYoverse's history 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.
Confirmed additions for Version 1.5 include new S-Rank characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, a new area, and a new chapter in the main story. With the launch date fast approaching, official announcements are expected soon.
