Exciting news for Zenless Zone Zero fans: recent leaks hint at a new Bangboo dress-up event that might become a permanent game mode in the upcoming Version 1.5 update. Set to release on January 22, the buzz around the game's next patch has already started to build within the community.
Version 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero introduced a wealth of new content, including the S-Rank units Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa—the latter being available to all players at no cost. The update also brought two new permanent game modes centered on combat and challenges, offering rewards such as Polychrome and Boopon. While primarily an action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero has a history of featuring diverse events, like the "Bangboo vs Ethereal" event which adopted a tower defense style. Now, it appears that the developers are set to introduce a new non-combat game mode in Version 1.5, which could become a staple in the game, as suggested by the latest leaks.
A credible community leaker, Flying Flame, has revealed that a new Bangboo dress-up gameplay mode will be introduced in Version 1.5 and become permanently available post-update. This mode will debut with a Bangboo Beauty Contest event, where players can customize the outfits of Eous, the beloved mascot and personal Bangboo of Wise and Belle. Flying Flame shared screenshots of the event, showcasing various clothing items for Eous, hinting at the fun and creativity players can expect. While the dress-up mode will be a permanent addition, the event's exclusive rewards, including a long-rumored skin for Nicole Demara, will only be available for a limited time.

In addition to the Bangboo dress-up event, other leaks suggest that Version 1.5 will include another event featuring unique gameplay, possibly a limited-time platformer mode. This move aligns with HoYoverse's trend of integrating non-combat permanent game modes in their RPGs, such as Honkai: Star Rail's cocktail-mixing mode and Genshin Impact's Genius Invokation TCG.
HoYoverse has officially announced that Version 1.5 will introduce new S-Rank characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, along with a new area and a fresh chapter in the main story. As the update approaches, fans can anticipate more details being revealed in the coming days.
