Greetings gladiators, and welcome to version 1.5 of the Swords and Sandals Classic Collection!

While this update does not change much in the classic versions of each of the games, there are now TEN new mods for the games. These mods have been created by the legendary community of S&S fans on the official S&S Discord channel.

These mods are spread throughout S&S 1, 2, 3 and 4 and some of them radically change how the game is played, with all new champions, XP boosts, new skills and more.

Important note - this update now works on Windows and Mac, but for some reason Achievements will only be triggered on Windows machines. Looking at a fix for Mac.

These mod packs will be updated in future as more mods appear, but for now the list of mods is as below.

Who Wants To Be A Gladiator by Oliver Joyce - SS1
Swords and Sandals II Champion Rush by Tofi - SS2
Swords and Sandals II : Extended by Xorgius - SS2
Swords and Sandals III : After Starbound by Davut Özgür Süküti (Rexar) - SS3
Swords and Sandals III Antares' March by Spoon - SS3
Swords and Sandals III : Emperor's Reign by Spoon - SS3
SS3 Forever - by Neeram - SS3
Tributum Ultratus by Spoon - SS3
Ortus Haxxapodiorum by Xorgius - SS3
S&S IV Fixus Edition by Davut Özgür Süküti (Rexar) - SS4

Oh yeah, also for those playing S&S 2 Classic, I fixed a long standing bug where if you taunted, you actually *gained* stamina. If you guys hate this fix and have gotten used to the taunt being massively OP and want me to revert it, let me know in the comments.

Huge thanks to the tireless mod creators and fans who helped bring this update to life.

Until next time gladiators, I salute you!

Major update28 Jun 2026More new fan mods added to the Classic Collection!Greetings mighty gladiators! Its hard to believe ( and kind of cool to think ) Swords and Sandals is now over 20 years old! Truly they say time flies and it does feel like an eternity since I first coded up the little cartoon gladiators who would enter the arena back in Swords and Sandals I. What's even cooler, in my opinion, is that the S&S series has some of the most awesome dedicated fans a…Major update26 Apr 2025Swords and Sandals III is getting a remaster!Greetings, mighty gladiators! By far one of the S&S questions I am asked most is "When are you going to do a remake of Swords and Sandals III?" (The other question I always get asked is "What's up with the S&S 2 comma glitch, was that on purpose?" - nope, that was just the work of shoddy programming!) I'm thrilled to at last be able to announce a Swords and Sandals III remaster is in the works…Esports26 Sep 2023Special announcement - Come and check out my new game, Gorgon Shield!Greetings gladiators! As many of you know, I'm taking a (hopefully well earned) break from the long running Swords and Sandals series to recharge and restore my creative capital. I am definitely keen to return bigger and better than ever with more gladiatorial action in the next few years, but until them I've been working away at another game dev project since May this year. Behold, Gorgon Shie…
