“Spartacus: Vengeance The Game” For Facebook

Have you felt the need to escape from bondage, run outside arenas to take on challenges, missions, and lead a group of fighters? Then you need a Facebook account fast because the sequel to “Spartacus: The Game” launches on January 27, the same day that the new series begins on Starz.

The original game drew approximately 4 million registered users and had more than 1.2 million monthly active users at its peak. While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Mara Winokur, senior vp, digital media and business department, Starz Media and lead executive for Starz Digital Media said, “We know we had to step it up after the first game. ‘Spartacus: Vengeance Game’ takes on a greater level of sophistication by adding new elements, such as improved visuals, multi-fighter battles, a more robust game economy, advanced game progressions, and more varied strategic options.”

Fighting and strategy are key elements and players will be given missions to wrest locations from Roman control while working with, and conspiring against, characters from the show. Dave Katz, vp, digital media, Starz Media, adds, “It will evolve like our first game and will be completely different in three months.”

“Players can help each other and run into each other or fight,” Katz said. “And there are missions where you team up with a friend. We are really trying to take social interaction to the next level.”

Nothing’s cooler than being a freedom fighter taking on the Romans, though if you can get Lucy Lawless into the game…
