Expeditions: Rome has received new DLC today titled, “Death or Glory”. This new downloadable content brings the new Gladiator class as well as adding arenas to the different regions that you have visited throughout the campaign. You can now prove the combat prowess of your praetorian guard in the sands of the arena and fight against various enemies, including ferocious lions and very talented champions.
The new DLC released today has a legion of other additions that are coming along with the Gladiator-class, and its unique set of 24 skills. There are the new arenas, new weapons, new armors, new crafting recipes, and new enemies as well as new customization options for your legion and your praetorians. The DLC content will be included in the campaign or can be accessed directly by starting the game in the new "Gladiator Mode".
To celebrate the arrival of the new DLC, Expeditions: Rome is offering a new set of Twitch Drops for the next two weeks. The campaign will run until April 25th at 6 AM PDT /3 PM CEST.

2nd Drop is a unique emblem, which you will receive after watching for 1.5 hours of a participating channel
3rd drop is a new trophy pack, which you will receive after watching 2 hours of a participating channel
When you play this new downloadable content you will don the armour of a gladiator and enter the arena with your praetorian guard to win fame and fortune. Introducing the Gladiator character class to Expeditions: Rome, this DLC offers a new way to experience the game’s branching story through the three new gladiator sub-classes: a tough and heavily armored Murmillo, a highly mobile and cunning Retiarius, or a morale-manipulating Provocator.
Each region of the campaign now includes a unique arena, with its own questline featuring memorable champions and deadly new enemies, and a brand new Audience Approval system to add more flavor and tactical variety to Expeditions: Rome’s acclaimed combat. Defeat the three champions to master the arenas and access randomized arena fights, or start the game in Gladiator Mode to skip directly to the new content and earn a unique trophy for the main game for your efforts.
