"Spartacus Legends has been given its first trailer by Ubisoft. The Spartacus Legends announcement trailer features gameplay footage from inside the gladiatorial arena.  The video showcases the game&amp;#039;s weapon-based combat, as well as some of its brutal and bloody finishing moves. Announced last week, Spartacus Legends is a fighting game in which players strive to become a gladiatorial legend by training inside the ludus and fighting in the arena. Based on the US television series, it will feature characters from the show, including the voice and likeness of star Liam McIntyre. The game will contain deep customisation options, allowing users to choose from thousands of weapon combinations and skill perks in order to create their own gladiator. Alternatively, players can pick the likes of Spartacus and Crixus to do battle in local or online multiplayer modes. It was recently announced that Spartacus is to end after its upcoming third season, which is to be subtitled War of the Damned. Spartacus executive Steven DeKnight has teased that season three will be &amp;quot;very dirty&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ethically muddled&amp;quot;.  Spartacus Legends is due to release in the early stages of 2013, alongside Spartacus: War of the Damned, which will premiere in January 2013. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
