UEFN is a revolutionary gaming platform enabling brands and IP owners to build captivating worlds for a massive audience interested in interactive entertainment. “Gladiator Gauntlet” will immerse players in the Roman Empire to do battle in the film’s iconic Colosseum, which was designed from a live art scan of its physical counterpart from the film. The experience also will challenge players to fight through a series of trials in other high fidelity arenas inspired by stadiums and locations featured in the movie and modeled after Ancient Rome.
“Gladiator is one of the most epic film sagas of all time. With the sequel set to equal the original 2000 film in unforgettable action sequences, Gladiator Gauntlet will offer Generation Z gamers the chance to immerse themselves in glorious battles within history’s most grand arena,” said Super League President and Chief Commercial Officer Matt Edelman. “We’re thankful to Paramount Pictures for enabling Super League to bring such an ideal Fortnite Creative experience to life for an audience primed to head to theaters to experience the grandeur of Gladiator II.”
