The anticipated followup to the downloadable smash-hit Deadliest Warrior: The Game will soon be available to the masses, and fans are surely looking forward to decapitating foes with a medley of new warriors and weapons. Deadliest Warrior: Legends may still have the same basic principles as the game before it, but the fine folk at 345 Games and Pipe Works have changed quite a few things that make the sequel more than worth revisiting.
The biggest and most notable change for Legends is the removal of generic warriors and their replacement by well known historical figures who made a name for themselves for their combat prowess. There are a total of nine playable characters to choose from in Deadliest Warrior: Legends, ranging from the likes of Scottish legend William Wallace to the feared Attila the Hun. Offering a look at the designs of the warriors in Legends, concept art of all nine of the infamous historical figures have been unveiled.
A list of every single character available in Deadliest Warrior: Legends can be viewed below – in alphabetical order no less!
- Alexander the Great
- Attila the Hun
- Genghis Khan
- Hannibal
- Hernan Cortes
- Shaka Zulu
- Sun Tzu
- Vlad the Impaler
- William Wallace
The concept art for each of the infamous warriors can be viewed after the jump. Remember that they may look extremely intimidating, but they’re all dead so you only have to worry about zombie versions of them.
Based on our hands-on time with Deadliest Warrior: Legends, everyone who enjoyed the original will surely love this game. All of the warriors are rendered wonderfully and animated to respond well to the brutal and quick gameplay of each round of combat. The promise of even more warriors and a surprise guest (*hint, hint*) coming in future DLC only add to the roster’s depth.
So, who’s the greatest combatant of the group?
Deadliest Warriors: Legends is scheduled to hit the Xbox Live Marketplace on July 6th, and will be available on the PSN not long after.

I think Charlemagne would have been a good addition to diversify the roster just a little bit more. Although his skills as an individual combatant may have to be somewhat exaggerated (as they have been for centuries). They should have a Mythology division: Achilles vs Lancelot? Beowulf vs the Minotaur? Baba Yaga vs Jesus in a steel cage, malice and miracles monday night on pray-per-view!
Deadliest Warrior: Mythology would actually be a great idea. There are so many mythological heroes that would be great in this game.
Jesus vs Chuck Norris
I’m looking forward to this, but I’m going for Vlad the Impaler. He inspired the story of Count Dracula, while still making him seem tame and sweet by comparison. Vlad was positively demonic in his battle prowess, so I would gladly put him up against any of the other fighters.
The mythological version of the game would be fantastic, but the only version of Jesus they would even be able to consider would be the Armageddon warrior version. Gilgamesh and Rama would be great to have in the lineup with others you suggested.
I hope they didn’t take away Wallace’s claymore. Though they might’ve had to, because with it he’d be unstoppable.
Being Scottish, it’s only natural that I’d use him all the time. Except to unlock everything.
I’ve played the game, and I can confirm that Wallace has his claymore
Awesome thanks for the confirmation Riley, so you saw him owning everyone then I Imagine?
Saw him owning? No, I was the one owning. One of the most fun characters to play as for sure!
Riley and I saw Wallace owning me in our demo.
I witnessed many characters (usually controlled by me) owning you.
Looks awesome can’t wait. I loved playing the pirate in the first game, I imagine Cortez might have some similarities? Otherwise Impaler for the win.
Woot it’s out today! I’m downloading this when I get home and I”m going to call in sick to pwn online! I’m curious to see the minigame but the first game was so fun and it looks like they improved on that.
No samurai warriors like Miyamoto musashi,Sasaki kojiro,Okita Souji,Yagyu Jubei…????
Maybe on the next DLC…. T___T
they need Julius Caesar
