Patch 0.97.3 is out!

Salvete, great citizens of Rome!

I know I wrote in the last patch notes that I’d focus solely on new content, but I got a bit carried away optimizing the game and ended up doing a whole lot of that! It should give you all a smoother experience, better performance, and even faster loading times.

But that’s far from the only thing in this update, so without further ado, here are the patch notes:

New features

• Added two-handed swords and a whole new animation set to go with them.

• Added Pause, Slow Motion, and Fast Forward controls for matches.

• Added a Hide UI toggle for matches.

Patch 0.97.2 is out!

Salvēte, Lanistas!

Today I have yet another update for you all, and this one might not, on the surface, seem like all that much, but I saw all the comments & reviews about loading times being slow and of course also experienced it myself.

Patch 0.97.1 is out now!

Salvete, Lanistas!

This update continues the game’s major visual overhaul, and I’m proud of how much its look and feel have improved.

I also want to acknowledge that limiting takedown credit to the gladiator who landed the final hit was a mistake. That change has now been reversed, so assists once again grant Fame.

Patch 0.97 is out!

Salvete, Lanistas!

I’m very pleased to present this latest update, which brings a lot of improvements to almost every area of the game. I especially want to highlight the major visual overhaul of the arenas, which really elevates the game’s look and feel. I’m also pleased to share a major rework of dual wielding, which now lets you combine any two one-handed weapons!

Patch 0.96.1 is out now!

Salvete, Lanistas!

While I’m working on some bigger, exciting additions, many of you have been busy reporting bugs, suggesting quality-of-life improvements, and pointing out missing translations. I didn’t want to keep you waiting for these fixes, so I’ve put together an update to address them.
