Stieg Hedlund On Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising

The upcoming MMO, Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising is really something to watch out for, specially for those history and mythology buffs out there.

According to Stieg Hedlund, Design Director of Gods and Heroes, this game fuses history and fun. In it you will see the Colosseum, as well as the infamous Medusa. In fact, developers even made an effort to make the map as accurate as possible. Neat, eh? It's like going on a Roman history tour, with a twist.

In this game, players get to have a lot of freedom with character customization feature. According to Hedlund, "In our game, when you equip a breastplate for example, the asset first checks to see if it's for a male or female and then it checks your body type. After this, it then displays the asset depending on those characteristics, thus the male and female equipment, while similar in looks, is actually two different assets!"

Hedlund adds that Gods and Heroes runs on SLI-based machine, so we could expect a one-of-a kind gaming experience with that kind of horsepower.
