Ahead of next week's premiere of Paramount Pictures’ Gladiator II, starring Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington, the studio partnered with Super League to release a custom Gladiator II-inspired map on its popular game, Fortnite

To drive awareness of the map and awareness of the movie, Super League and Paramount Pictures are collaborating with the creators of multiple popular UEFN maps who will place Gladiator non-player characters (NPCs) as well as portals to Gladiator Gauntlet within their own experiences, including Minigame Box PVP, Bodycam, Chained Together, Bank City, Speed Realistics and Sniper One Shot Battle.

UEFN is a gaming platform that allows brands and IP owners to build custom worlds for audiences interested in interactive entertainment. Fortnite’s “Gladiator Gauntlet” immerses players in the Roman Empire where they can do battle in the film’s colosseum, which was designed from a live-art scan of its physical counterpart from the film. The experience also will challenge players to fight through a series of trials in other high fidelity arenas inspired by stadiums and locations featured in the movie and modeled after Ancient Rome.

With the sequel set to equal the original 2000 film in unforgettable action sequences, Gladiator Gauntlet will offer Generation Z gamers the chance to immerse themselves in glorious battles within history’s most grand arena,” said Super League President and Chief Commercial Officer Matt Edelman in a statement. “We’re thankful to Paramount Pictures for enabling Super League to bring such an ideal Fortnite creative experience to life for an audience primed to head to theaters to experience the grandeur of Gladiator II.

Leading up to the film’s release, Paramount Pictures also will host custom Gladiator-themed streams run by such top Fortnite content creators as Typical Gamer, Loserfruit and Peterbot on Twitch. The experience is available between November 9 to 29 for fans over the age of 18.
