Dear Aspirants!
I almost can't believe it, but we are quickly coming up on the second anniversary of the Early Access launch of We Who Are About To Die! The game has grown a lot, and we aren't done.
To celebrate the anniversary we are releasing a Content Update in November - one I'm personally very excited for! The game will also have a Steam Daily Deal discount on November 23rd.
Gladiator's Revenge
The theme of this update is very simple: we want to add some really classical feeling gladiator content, with a heavier inspiration from ancient Rome itself.
It's long overdue we gave players more ability to dress up and roleplay as your favorite real-world gladiators. Of course, all of this content has still been designed so it still fits the game's lore, cultures and general vibe.
Backstory: The Veteran Aspirant
We will reveal a lot more details about this in the following Preview Posts, but Gladiator's Revenge will add a brand new backstory: Veteran Aspirant (Professional Aspirant has been renamed Trainee Aspirant to avoid confusion)
In this backstory you assume a Veteran who already has an established career as an Aspirant, and is hellbent on revenge.
One very unique aspect of this backstory we can already reveal, is that it has 3 subclasses.
These subclasses are: The Dormorian, The Myrodonian & The Terantian.
When you roll the backstory you also roll one of the 3 subclasses at random and the backstory's traits, the equipment loadout and starting skills will adjust based on the subclass. 3-in-1!
More info on these in future posts!
Translations are coming to the game! Testers needed!
We're happy to announce we're working on finally bringing We Who Are About To Die to other languages than English. The 11 languages are listed below. (note this could get expanded later)
For this we need testers who are native speakers/readers in these languages so we can ensure we get the best possible localisations of the game out right away!
If you speak any of these languages fluently and want earlier access to the update, please join our Discord (http://discord.gg/8PEutcdwf5) in the channel #Loc-test-application write that you want to help & on which language(s).
Especially the bolded languages with their own alphabet will need extra testing (and may be harder to find) so if you speak any of those languages please consider helping out! Thank you!
