Well, well, well, look who the Hollows dragged in! It's your friendly neighborhood Proxie here, back with the absolute latest from the neon-drenched, anomaly-infested streets of New Eridu. Remember when I was gushing about Qingyi, Jane Doe, and Seth in Version 1.1? Seems like HoYoverse just can't let us catch our breath, because they're already teasing the next wave of chaos-makers for Version 1.2. And let me tell you, this new duo is about to turn the Sons of Calydon from a footnote into a headline. I come, I see, I crash the party with all the hot gossip!

Caesar King: Simpler Than a Salad, Tougher Than Steel

First up, let's talk about the boss lady herself: Caesar King. Now, with a name like that, you'd expect some grand, conquering emperor, right? Someone who'd command legions and rewrite the rules of New Eridu. But according to our favorite information broker, Lucy, Caesar is 'as simple as a salad.' I don't know about you, but that's the most suspicious description I've ever heard. Since when is leading a faction like the Sons of Calydon—home to the dynamic duo Piper and Lucy—a simple affair? Big Daddy seems to think she'll do a better job than her father, which already sets the stage for some juicy faction drama. What was Dad doing wrong? And what's Caesar's plan to fix it?

Gameplay-wise, she's tagged as a Physical Defense type. In a city where everything from psychic blasts to firestorms is thrown at you, a solid defender is worth her weight in Denny. Will she be an immovable object, creating safe zones for her more fragile allies? Or perhaps she'll have mechanics that punish enemies for daring to hit her? The possibilities are making my Proxy senses tingle. She even made a cameo in the original launch trailer, hanging out with other yet-to-be-revealed agents. HoYoverse, you love your slow-burn reveals, don't you?

Burnice White: Mixing Drinks and Starting Fires

If Caesar is the calm, defensive center, then her new associate is the explosive, unpredictable perimeter. Meet Burnice White, and let me just say, her name checks out. She's a Fire Anomaly agent, which means she doesn't just bring the heat to a fight—she is the heat. The official blurb says, 'It’s always time to fight fire with fire when you have Burnice around.' I couldn't agree more. Why try to extinguish a problem when you can just make a bigger, more spectacular problem right next to it?

The lore tidbits are pure gold. Piper—our beloved whirlwind of destruction—specifically warns Burnice to stay away from Steeltusk's gas tank. Why, Piper? What did you see? What happened? This single line implies Burnice might be... a tad reckless, or perhaps just very enthusiastic about her work. Meanwhile, both Caesar King and someone named 'Lighter' praise her sociable personality and her skills as a mixologist. So, she's the life of the party who might accidentally become the party by setting the bar on fire. I'm already imagining her combo potential. Toss a molotov cocktail (or a finely crafted cocktail that spontaneously combusts), then switch to another agent to capitalize on the Burn status. Delicious.

Faction Focus: The Sons of Calydon Rise

Version 1.2 isn't just about two new characters; it's a major power play for the Sons of Calydon. Think about it. Before this, we knew them as Piper and Lucy's crew. Now, we're getting their leader and a heavy-hitting specialist. This faction is getting fleshed out right before our eyes! What's their endgame in New Eridu? Are they true believers in a cause, or just savvy survivors playing the game? With Caesar's leadership and Burnice's... fiery passion, they're quickly becoming a faction I'd want on my side during a Hollow dive.

Let's break down what we know about this burgeoning crew:

Living in New Eridu: A 2026 Perspective

It's 2026, and New Eridu remains the last glittering, dangerous beacon in a messed-up world. The core loop is as addictive as ever: form your squad, take on commissions, and dive into those ever-shifting Hollow labyrinths. But with each update, the city feels more alive, more complex. New characters aren't just new combat kits; they're pieces of a larger conspiracy puzzle. Every faction introduction, like this Sons of Calydon expansion, makes me wonder: who can I trust? What's the real truth behind the Hollows? The journey to find hope in this urban fantasy is as much about detective work as it is about action.

And the best part? The party is on every platform you own. PS5, PC, iOS, Android—HoYoverse made sure no one has an excuse to miss out on the chaos. The game is free to start, which is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing for my wallet, a curse for my sleep schedule.

Final Thoughts: The Hype is Real

So, what do we have for ZZZ Version 1.2? We've got Caesar, the enigmatic leader who's probably tougher than she looks, ready to anchor a team. We've got Burnice, the human (?) fireworks display who can apparently make you a drink before she makes your enemies toast. Together, they're putting the Sons of Calydon firmly on the map. I, for one, am ready to welcome them to my roster. Who needs a simple salad when you can have a four-course meal of urban fantasy combat? Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some Hollows to crash. See you in New Eridu, Proxies! 🎮✨
