Spartacus Legends goes free-to-play on consoles

Ubisoft just announced that the fighting game Spartacus Legends from studio Kung Fu Factory is going to be free-to-play. The game, based on the popular TV show, will be one of the first to be F2P on consoles, in this case Xbox 360 and PS3, when it launches in Q1 2013.

The game will offer eight different fighting styles and the combat is combo-focused. The icing on the cake – if you like that sort of thing – is the permadeath feature, so make sure that you take great care of your gladiator.
