Wargroove’s Caesar arrives alongside Rivals of Aether on Switch today

Some pixelated eyebleach for you on a bleak Thursday, Wargroove’s adorable canine Caesar is coming to indie fighter, Rivals of Aether: Definitive Edition.

From today players can unlock Caesar as a free 'buddy' character for Aether Coins in either the Switch or Steam version. An announce trailer featuring Caesar in all his cute pixelated glory is here.

Naturally, the folks at Chucklefish are thrilled to see Caesar in Rivals, as well as being able to support yet another indie dev. "We're big fans of Rivals of Aether, and the fantastic online community they've created, so we couldn't be happier to introduce Caesar as a small part of the fun," said Chucklefish's Marketing & Publishing Lead, Katy Ellis.

"Collaborating and making smaller projects happen with fellow indie studios has been a real highlight this year, with Caesar from Wargroove teaming up with TINY METAL's Nora for his own free DLC in March, and now acting as the perfect puppy buddy in indie fighter Rivals of Aether. As soon as we saw Cannonbreed from the Rivals team's initial Caesar sprites we knew it was a perfect match, and our fluffy boy was in safe hands. Thank you again to Dan Fornace and the team, and we wish them the best of luck with Rivals of Aether: Definitive Edition launch today."
