The world will never know which one of its most ruthless historical warriors would come out on top in a battle against his peers. Of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t try to come up with an answer. The Deadliest Warrior, a hit Spike TV show, attempts to do just that during its experimental episodes. With a premise like that, it begs no wonder that two interactive fighting games were developed and released under the same license. Both gore fests were released onto Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Network in recent years.
On April 17, 345 Games will be unleashing Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat onto our two high-definition consoles, providing an affordable alternative to the aforementioned download files. Retailing for $29.99, the compilation disc will include both games, in addition to a large amount of extra content:
Brand new Graveyard stage
30 new weapons
All DLC for each game
Cross-play with the games’ digital versions
Exclusive, never-before-released episodes of the show
A pre-order incentive will also be given to those who pre-purchase the title at EB Games/Gamestop. It will come in the form of a DVD, containing two episodes from the hit show; one of which has never appeared on the medium before.
