When The Conduit concluding, it comes as no surprise that High Voltage is moving onto developing new things. This must be the last place we thought the rumor of a new title would take us though. Either way, Gladiator A.D is a reality.

This brand new I.P. from High Voltage is an arena brawler exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. Although there are not a ton of details about the game, this is what the Internet has managed to produce.
