Recent leaks suggest Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 will introduce a permanent Bangboo dress-up mode, initially launched as a limited-time "Bangboo Beauty Contest" event. This exciting addition will allow players to customize outfits for Eous, the game's beloved mascot.
The upcoming January 22nd update follows Version 1.4, which delivered popular S-Rank units Hoshimi Miyabi and Asaba Harumasa (the latter being free), and two new permanent combat-focused game modes. Version 1.5 appears to continue this trend of diverse gameplay, adding a non-combat element that will remain after the event concludes.
Reliable leaker, Flying Flame, revealed details and screenshots of the event showcasing various clothing options for Eous. While the dress-up mode itself will become permanent, event-specific rewards will be time-limited. Rumors suggest this event may also unlock the highly anticipated Nicole Demara skin.
Beyond the dress-up mode, additional leaks point to a temporary platformer game mode. This aligns with HoYoverse's history of including non-combat gameplay in other titles, such as Honkai: Star Rail's cocktail-making and Genshin Impact's Genius Invokation TCG.
Confirmed additions to Version 1.5 include new S-Rank characters Astra Yao and Evelyn, a fresh area to explore, and a continuation of the main storyline. With the release date fast approaching, official details are expected soon.
