IGN: You’re just wrapping up work on The Conduit. Tell us about the concept behind Gladiator A.D.

Kerry J. Ganofsky: Gladiator A.D. is our next step in filling the holes in the Wii’s library. Players choose a Gladiator, each with unique attacks, behaviors, moves, and weapons. They then battle through a series of competitions, some one-on-one and some much more complex.

David Pellas: The concept for Gladiator A.D. is to recreate the brutal fighting and high tension of the gladiatorial arenas of ancient Rome.
