Storyline:
A fallen empire... A forgotten heir... And the roar of Rome waiting to rise again.
Gladiator II follows Lucius, the once-protected nephew of Emperor Commodus and the son of Lucilla. Years after Maximus’ sacrifice, Lucius has lived far from the chaos of Rome—until it finds him.
When tyrannical rulers conquer his homeland, Lucius is captured and thrown into the Colosseum, where blood is entertainment and rebellion simmers beneath the sand. Stripped of privilege and haunted by the memory of Maximus, Lucius must find the strength to survive, fight, and become a symbol for the people—a new warrior to challenge the corrupt heart of the empire.
As the Senate falls, emperors clash, and civil unrest threatens the foundation of Rome, Lucius must choose: remain a pawn, or rise as the people’s champion.
