Zenless Zone Zero's newest agent is expected to arrive in Version 1.2.
HoYoverse’s drip marketing for Zenless Zone Zero has given us a tease for a new upcoming playable character: Caesar King. Caesar is the leader of the Sons of Calydon faction, which Lucy and Piper also belong to. She is set to become the game’s first Physical Defense agent, armed with a sword and shield to take on her foes.
Zenless Zone Zero unveils its first Physical Defense Agent
HoYoverse has unveiled a new playable character coming to Zenless Zone Zero, and it’s none other than the leader of the Sons of Calydon faction. Her name is Caesar King, and this isn’t the first time the developer has shown her off. She was last seen in the game’s release teaser, sitting in the back of a truck driven by Piper.
Caesar King was unveiled with an Agent Records post, which includes quotes from various in-game characters, a first look at her design and a brief snippet of voicework. The post also reveals that she will be the game’s first Physical Defense character, finally giving Ben Bigger some competition in the Defense roster. She will likely form a good trio with Lucy and Piper, given their shared faction. It looks like she also has ties to Billy Kid, who refers to her as ‘big sis’ in a quote.
Given the timing of this tease, it’s likely that HoYoverse plans to include Caesar King in a Version 1.2 banner. While the developer hasn’t officially confirmed Version 1.2’s banners, Caesar and the previously-revealed Section 6 agent Hoshimi Miyabi could serve as its S-Rank pulls. Version 1.2 might also give us a Sons of Calydon-themed story chapter, finally allowing players to learn more about Lucy and Piper outside of combat.
Zenless Zone Zero’s Version 1.1 update launches on August 14.
