Inspired by the smash hit Starz TV show, Spartacus has found its way to your consoles. Today Ubisoft has announced the upcoming release of Spartacus Legends, a fighting game that will immerse users in the visceral world created by the popular Spartacus original series produced and distributed by Starz Entertainment. Spartacus Legends is a unique gaming experience based on the characters from the series. The game features thousands of ruthless weapon combinations and a polished skill system. Spartacus Legends delivers a variety of tools for gamers to customize their gladiators and dismember their foes. Players will be able to fight as Spartacus, Crixus or one of their own created gladiators as they battle with friends offline or in online multiplayer to join the ranks on the leaderboards.
Liam McIntyre has been very involved with the Spartacus Legends team. In addition to allowing his likeness and voice to be featured in the game, Liam, a big gamer himself, played early builds of the game and was a big help in providing his creative feedback through the whole development process. The Spartacus franchise (Gods of the Arena, Blood and Sand and Vengeance) airs in more than 150 countries and has been translated into 15 different languages. In the United States alone, viewership for the show has grown with each season and is one of the highest rated cable series with over 6 million viewers watching each and every episode.
In the upcoming final season, all of your favorite characters from the series will make a comeback as well as new characters such as Gaius Julius Caesar and Marcus Crassus.
If you are interested in more information about the game, Comic-Con International: San Diego attendees will be the first to test their skills in the arena of Spartacus Legends from Thursday, July 12 through Sunday, July 15 at the Starz Media booth.
