Rumor: LucasArts Working on New Gladius Game

I was browsing the interwebs and stumbled across some interesting concept art. Turns out, it was for a little game called Gladius 2, a game that up to this point has not yet been announced.

James Zhang, an artist who has done work for several projects including multiple Star Wars games, had quite a bit of concept art up on his site — JZConcepts.com. A hidden list of links was “stumbled upon” in which there were images for Gladius 2, as well as Knights of the Old Republic 3. Those links are now gone.

The existence of Gladius 2 is further proven by the simple fact that Gladius 2 is listed under “projects” if you click on the client list on his main page. Kinda hard to deny it now, right?

Let’s hope this is more than just wishful thinking or unofficial concept art by a mere fan of the game (even though he works with LucasArts). Gladius was a great game, so a sequel would be much appreciated. Announce it already, LucasArts, and how about a release date some time this year!

    And how about making the original Gladius playable on the 360. Let’s keep those backwards compootabolitah updates coming again, Microsoft!

    Not sure why, but I first read that title as “New Glados Game” and got very confused by the picture.

    Gladius was a pretty cool game. This is nice to see.

    Would have been nice to see some of that concept art if someone *cough*Dan*cough* downloaded the images before the artist removed the link…

    John,

    That is because you guys are used to adding the letter “u” to words it has no place being in, which causes the letter to lose its importance. Thereby, when you do see it in a word, you often overlook it — or even worse, you confuse it with other letters!!

    Lol.

    Definitely not enough U’s in the title. “Rumour: LucusUrts Wourking oun Neuw Glaudius Gameu”

    The concept art was only completely, mind-blowingly awesome. You’re not missing much, don’t worry.

  • Jonathan Zungre

    i love missing mind-blowing things!!!

    Dude I was this game so bad I hope for online capability’s I always liked the multiplayer capability’s but had no one to play with cause my brother doesn’t believe in playing against another human unless there is a real purpose behind it for more than 30 minutes. Thats not what he says but I know thats what it is he doesn’t even play pass 5 matches in a row with me in any game if were versing.
    Then none of my friends knew the game and when I got them to play they weren’t very good.

    P.S I want this game so bad

    Loved Gladius. I had rented it when it first came out. Loved it. When the store went to sell the rental copies. I had reserved the one, but one of the store employees took it for himself. I really miss this game. Would be awsome for a second one. Never did get to finish the first one. Wish I could find a copy today.
