Be matched with and test your skills against real humans as you strive to be the greatest gladiator in the whole world. This is the most fun you'll ever have in the arena, and it all starts here.įinally, for the first time in over a decade, multiplayer combat returns to the world of Swords and Sandals. Brutal turn-based combat where gladiators can lose limbs, wield guitars and yell so loudly their foe's heads will fall off. It's Swords and Sandals as you've never seen it. This is definitely the biggest scope I've had for an S&S game and basically represents the best parts of S&S 2, S&S 3 and even S&S 4 and I can't wait to bring it to the world in 2022.” Through feedback on the Steam Community forums, I'll be updating the builds as often as I can once the game hits Early Access, most likely several times a week at least. I'll be talking with players each week to get feedback on what's working, what needs balancing and what would be 'cool to see' in future builds. “There's a hugely active Swords and Sandals Community spread throughout here, Discord, YouTube and other social media platforms. How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Here's a breakdown of what you'll see in the full version vs the early access builds of the game. How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “The game is planned to launch in Early Access in April 2022, with a full release roughly 4 months or so later once I'm happy (and the community is happy) that the game is polished and ready to go full launch.” Early Access allows me that luxury, to listen to the players and improve on the game iteratively.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access? In the past, I've launched S&S games that weren't quite ready and I want to avoid that mistake by allowing the game time to grow and improve before unleashing it fully upon the world. “This is by far the biggest Swords and Sandals game I've ever made, and I want to get it right! The additions of multiplayer to the game and the entirely new skill systems mean there's going to be a lot of balancing, bugfixing and feature adding going in once the core game is there.
