Same for me, a bit like minecraft if you think about it. The saying "You can never really quit Minecraft, you just take long breaks" also applies to WWAATD
i come back and get a minimum 3-4 hour play session in at least once a month. its a great game to just play when you don't feel like playing anything else!
I really like the Draft mode for three reasons: the scenery and large scale battle, the gold reward, and the ability to repair my gear that week and get outfitted in decent armor and weapons.
This may sound dumb due to the number of things added to this update, but I for one am so glad that there are new sound effects that have been added, it was driving me nuts hearing the same sounds over and over again.
You know Jordi, when I reviewed your game, I quoted an older game, Ryse:Son Of Rome. As WWAATD heavily reminded me of its Gladiator mode, which I LOVE. At 8:48, you now show a map variation that includes moving platfroms. This is SO HUGE for me. If we could ever have a game mode like Ryse's gladiator mode, with moving, spawning structures and morphing arenas, it would be absolutely incredible. Thanks for your hard work, and here's hoping for the upcoming Steam Deck compatibility.
I've followed this game with interest for over a year now, but waited on purchasing until the systems got fleshed out. With this update I feel like the time is right and so I bought it today and can't wait to jump in later! Congratulations on all your hard work that got you to this point and I'm so glad you have a team helping you out now
@@LakierosJordy I'm back after 4 hours of playtime and I've had a great time! I may have sacrificed some sleep last night...very addictive :) I did notice two things: 1. When viewing character models from further away they sometimes flicker and flail their arms & shields around like crazy. 2. Steam flags the game as still running after you quit from the main menu. You have to actually click "Stop" in the Steam interface for it to quit fully. Tried to submit a bug report via F1 but pressing it doesn't do anything at the moment. Looking forward to future updates and thank you for making an amazing game that brings back memories of playing Colosseum, Shadow of Rome & Gladius on the PS2
I started this game a few days ago and was blown away... and then this update comes out??? It fills a gritty action high skill combat niche for me, love it
Great timing! btw if you bought it just very recently (last few days) you can refund and buy again with the discount, that's fine to do on Steam (its even one of the options on refunding I think) and I don't mind either.
It looks amazing, It is so nice to see a developer who actually loves the game he is making and is enthusiastic so share all the changes he has made. Great job man. For me the Draft really jumps out. It would open up a lot of amazing potentials and I just love the large scale battles.
I got this game in Feb 2023, I enjoyed it a lot for a couple months and got all but one of the aspirants completed. Glad to see updates are still coming out, reinstalling it now super excited to jump back in! keep it up Jordy.
Although I've heard about this game in the past, I only recently picked it up on sale and I've been playing it for 50 hours straight. Finally beat all 6 victories and I can honestly say, it's extremely fun and well made. To me, the sound effects and all the changes in this video aren't new since I just joined but I can only imagine how big of an update this is. Thanks for making this game, Jordy!
I’ve had this game for over a year now and the difference is huge. The gameplay is so much more intuitive and fun than it was even before. Thank you for making this game and working on it, huge progress which is great to see!
I discovered your game last week and it sucked up a whole extended weekend from me. Insanely good and addictive. Thank you for making this and looking forward to future updates.
I remember months ago perhaps even a year ago I said I would so love to see some kind of battlefield gameplay take place. This man, myth, legend Jordy has done exactly that. Thankyou so much for listening to your fans you sir are a gentleman and a scholar indeed.
Was on the fence getting this game for a year or so, and then decided to follow. I read the previous reviews and it seemed like you've addressed all the aspects people didn't like! Bought the game and enjoying it very much! Thank you for making this game, it's such a unique experience.
just getting around to playing the new update, thanks for your time and effort in making this amazing game; but, maybe most importantly, continuing to instill so much time, effort, and love into it. its truly a privilege to be able to play what feels like someone's passion project. thanks a ton Jordy!
Love the update! It got me into the game again and it is just so good. I love all the mechanics from the combat to the immortalizing. This game is a one of a kind and holds a special place in my heart. Heres to adding another 22 hours into the game!
i just found this game yesterday and i binged it for 24 hours straight until i finally won a run. this is the best little indie game i have ever played
Been following since release. I find it so refreshing that you are sticking with this game, I can 100% feel your passion for this project. It's so refreshing to have someone not drop the game after they make a quick buck. Absolutely blown away by the content updates.
This makes me so happy, it was immediately one of my favorite games to play even with the issues that it had. And it brings me an endless amount of joy to see you continuing the progress and growing, god speed brother
I just got this game during the sale, it's been on my Wishlist for ages! Loving the draft fights, very intense XD Looking forward to see how this all progresses, thanks for making this!
Ok,story time. One of my first memories is when me and my family visited Rome,and it was when we visited the colosseum that I had adopted a life long love for history,and more importantly,gladiatorial combat.the idea that some absolute goobers decided one day to fight to the death at some guy’s funeral,Then having that be so popular that it was turned into a sport,really peaked my interest.because of this,over the years I have looked for gladiator games, good games that weren’t a copy paste style of one another.and then one day, I accidentally click on some random indie game page on steam. I go to click out of it,but then I see those oh so wonderful aspirents.intrigued I look at the trailer.MIND BLOWN. Jordy,if you’re reading this,I want you to know that you made a game that I have been dreaming for, for years. And for that,you have my utmost respect and support. Thanks bro
I just looked through my steam library and saw this game and had a urge to play it again. Wow, this is so massive man! you and your team did really did great. I'm looking forward to whats next to come!
Amazing game Jordy! Proud to see our Belgian game creativity come to life in this one. ^^ Love the draft, i'm curious on how you will take it to the next level.
Bro everything is awesome🙏🏼so thankfull that i found your game and story a while back and enjoying the improvements along the way;) makes you keep going back to a awesome game that keeps getting greater in time💪🏽🔥🔥
I think one of my favourite fights is the Draft. Not only I am automatically equipped with a full set of armour and weapons but the spectacle of battling on the field in a grand war is just plain epic especially when I choose the former soldier as my background. I imagine my guy just feels at home on the battlefield.
This update looks amazing, I was there at the start! and you have only made it better with each update, thank you Jordy. The battle field mode looks epic, I look froward to seeing what you do with it. ✨
Hey Jordy, what a fantastic update, I'm really excited to test the new animations now being able to flank enemies I grew up playing Shadow Of Rome, I consider it my favorite game on the PS2, and for years and years of my life I looked for a gladiator game that could reach the level of violence and immersion that this game had, when I discovered your game I was really happy and seeing how much effort, passion and identity you continue to put into the project always makes me feel good about revisiting the game and play a few hours again
have had that game in my wishlist a year, seeing your love for the game makes me want to buy it just to support you, will probably do it tomorrow. as a kid, i was a fan of Colosseum: Road to Freedom, so when i saw your game i immediatly got flashbacks to that game.
amazing job so far, i've been keeping an eye on the updates and this game is evolving at ludicrous speed! keep up the good work Jordy, we are proud of you
Jordie I just wanna say you are an absolute genius for producing such a unique and addicting game. It’s a shame that it hasn’t blown up yet but I promise you as soon as a big streamer picks this up, it’s gonna be the next big hit. Thanks for the countless hours of fun I’ve had so far. Someone else said it very well, this game is very hard to quit. It always draws me back for another run. Keep up the great work!
The Grand Plaza remind me ForHonor's architecture, a fortress split in few little district for different objectives. You are *J. Lakiere* and your passion is far beyond any development studio, any team, or marketing domination, The procedural trap and obstacles in your arena are increase, i saw ! it's really great ! i suppose your Draft mode will be touch by the same details, we are impatient to try it, thanks to you.
8:18 Ahahahahahaha x'D Congratulation, your progress impressive ! As a fan, i'm realy glad to saw you keep working on it ! *DRAFT* ! Multiple arena side by side could be called... *OPEN WORLD* !
I really love the Draft mode, I think we can easily assume you are preparing to make new iteration of Mount and Blade with that combat system which I would be more than happy :D. I wish you and your whole team to have massive success with this game. Cheers
wouldn't dare to compete with Mount & Blade, its so good :D we are going another direction overall but dip our toes in some field combat with Draft cause its a nice break from the arena
I've been playing and following this game since early access an early development stages. I absolutely LOVE it as well as how you keep building on it. I personally love the new fight modes and AI control the most, I'd love to see more fight modes. Maybe some scenario modes or even Animal fights would be great! Keep up the good work!
Love everything you and the team have done with the game. Its so fun to come back to for a few a hours every couple weeks. Can't wait for the next update!
I remember finding your game thru a youtube video by a guy named Reggie who tried only throwing stuff at enemies. It's what convinced me to get the game. Looking at this update, I imagine that challenge run would be both easier and more fun than before.
Brother! You outdid yourself! Congrats on everything you and the team have accomplished and all that will come in the future. I admire your vision and hard work to make that come true. I truly am blown away at this game. I'd love to hear about some of your other ideas as well, not just for this game, but you must have ideas for other genres as well. All the best man!
Which of the features appeal to me most: Animation Overhaul no doubt. I'm a stickler for solid visuals and animations are a huge part of the overall visual presentation in a game like this.
This has to be one of the best early access games ever to be made. I have thousands of games and can't think of another (especially, made mostly by a solo dev) that is this much fun.
9:32 Animation improvement and control polish. i remember playing the demo when the nerd castle made video on it. controls was the thing that kinda made it hard for me to get into the game, i tried time ago when you guys updated the demo (the new camera update i think). the character felt sluggish and it was annoying to execute simple task. tho you guys been updating and improving the game. i will keep my eye on it.
I love the Animation and AI improvments. Those two make the game a lot more immersive, which I appreciate in any game where I'm playing soldier (or gladiator).
Love you Jordy! Hydrate!!! I can tell from this video that at least at that time........ You have not drank enough blood of your defeated. Nor enough Aqua. LOVE YOU MY DUDE WHO MADE BEST SWORD FIGHTING GAME SINCE DIE BY THE SWORD
Best of the update for me is the animation and AI overhaul along with some of the combat tweaks. Nice to have more fluid movement and I feel this will make character control easier or more intuitive. Now the update is installed and it is time to play! Thanks for a great, fun game! Cheers from the US - Prachtig spiel!
keep up the good work, I love gladiators, spartacus, rome, greece anything like that. The game is so cool I cant wait to play the update, im most excited for the animation and sound overhauls. PS. I wish I had your We Who Are About To Die shirt.

You're absolutely great, thank you for bringing the Gladiator game the world needed!! Btw Draft is AWESOME.
just got on a new PC and this was the 3rd game i installed. havnt played yet but just launched and watched this video. its a great game i love and im proud to support an indie dev team. o7
I really love what y'all been doing with the game, such a great improvement overall. The one little thing I've always been expecting, is to be able to remember the gladiators I've played with (I think that's Hall of Fame is about). That being said, love the game, love the updates, keep up the great work!!
I started playing days before the tourny's were phased out! I would love to see some animal fights and multiplayer! those are the 2 biggest things. Can't wait to dive in!
I just bought this game off the back of this update and it is super fun so far. I nearly retired a fighter, but he was slain in the very battle that would've saved him. Aggravating, tragic, and making me want to do better. I am not a fan of rogue-likes, but this game does it right for me. Keep up the great work!
The Draft idea is already a big yes for me. I adore big battles so seeing this expanded on would be awesome. Maybe adding formations or a system where with enough renown you go in leading a small group
Bought this game so long ago and it is just too much fun, cant wait to redownload it again and give it another go! Biggest hype would definitely be the Draft gamemode. I really would like much larger scale operations or ways of playing the game that aren't just fighting in an arena. I'd love the idea of something like a castle siege or some such. I don't know if that'll ever fit the game, but man it sounds fun.
Haven't played the game since the camera update came out. Came back to see as the game I enjoyed before, but the updates and quality of life stuff you guys did, absolutely amazing. The draft is amazing and can see it being better. Awesome update (tad late to the party)
Love the draft, felt quite tough-but maybe I’m just not good enough yet! Best purchase I’ve made In a long time. I’ll be sticking with you all the way Jordius 🎉
I only played the demo through last year (it was good) but bought the game right after to support your work. I can't wait to dive back in after this update! Fantastic job.
Oh damn Draft looks awesome! The base combat mechanics are so fun you could actually just add any new modes, scenarios, etc and it would still be fun in my opinion. It's been a while since I last played, I had mostly finished all the content, but now I can't wait to get back into it again! PS: I would LOVE to see co-op at some point to play this with a friend, because it's so skill based that it would be amazingly satisfying to be in the trenches and survive with a friend. Also, just throwing this out there, it would be pretty incredible if in the future you could some how add creatures, like lions and tigers etc that might be in arenas for special fights. Great work on everything so far, a lot of hard work put in!
Hi I've not had the chance to play your game yet but its truly inspiring to see the progress you have made. Its great to see it get regular updates too and I'll be sure to check out the Draft when I do get a chance to play!
Excellent video! thank you. I like all the updates. my personal interests are in its the dynamic games and immersive/unique events, such as the draft. the game mechanics of career management and such - making legends.
The kid in me who played Swords and Sandals religiously is so jealous of adult me right now 😎
I couldn't agree more! Little old me wanted more from Gladiator Begins on the PSP.
big facts
Right with you on this one brother
This is one of those games where you can take a break from, but never quit playing. I always find myself coming back to the game. It’s too fun
fr, a good run or 2 once in a while is so much fun
It's the game where you don't need to use your brain as much as story games, it's really accessable and fun.
Same for me, a bit like minecraft if you think about it. The saying "You can never really quit Minecraft, you just take long breaks" also applies to WWAATD
i come back and get a minimum 3-4 hour play session in at least once a month. its a great game to just play when you don't feel like playing anything else!
The rare fights are awesome, makes the game much more varied.
Glad you like it!
A mi me dejaron de salir los elite Fights al poco tiempo.
I really liked how you showed the new things in the development grid realm, was very easy to see how the changes looked.
Glad to hear that! I was afraid it might be too "dev"-y
I really like the Draft mode for three reasons: the scenery and large scale battle, the gold reward, and the ability to repair my gear that week and get outfitted in decent armor and weapons.
I was following your journey for two years now. I love what you did with the game during this time
Thank you!! glad to have you by our side :D
This may sound dumb due to the number of things added to this update, but I for one am so glad that there are new sound effects that have been added, it was driving me nuts hearing the same sounds over and over again.
Not dumb at all, audio is slept on in general. I'm guilty of this too, it was a much needed overhaul.
You know Jordi, when I reviewed your game, I quoted an older game, Ryse:Son Of Rome. As WWAATD heavily reminded me of its Gladiator mode, which I LOVE.
At 8:48, you now show a map variation that includes moving platfroms. This is SO HUGE for me.
If we could ever have a game mode like Ryse's gladiator mode, with moving, spawning structures and morphing arenas, it would be absolutely incredible.
Thanks for your hard work, and here's hoping for the upcoming Steam Deck compatibility.
I definitely think its cool, we might do more stuff like that map!
People like Jordy that put love to the games so we can enjoy, needs to be protected and supported at all cost!
Great work good sir!
The new draft you added to the game, made me buy it! Seemed super nice with big open battles. Just had my first draft battle and it was great
I've followed this game with interest for over a year now, but waited on purchasing until the systems got fleshed out.
With this update I feel like the time is right and so I bought it today and can't wait to jump in later!
Congratulations on all your hard work that got you to this point and I'm so glad you have a team helping you out now
Thank you for the support! Hope you enjoy
@@LakierosJordy I'm back after 4 hours of playtime and I've had a great time! I may have sacrificed some sleep last night...very addictive :)
I did notice two things: 1. When viewing character models from further away they sometimes flicker and flail their arms & shields around like crazy.
2. Steam flags the game as still running after you quit from the main menu. You have to actually click "Stop" in the Steam interface for it to quit fully.
Tried to submit a bug report via F1 but pressing it doesn't do anything at the moment.
Looking forward to future updates and thank you for making an amazing game that brings back memories of playing Colosseum, Shadow of Rome & Gladius on the PS2
I started this game a few days ago and was blown away... and then this update comes out??? It fills a gritty action high skill combat niche for me, love it
Great timing! btw if you bought it just very recently (last few days) you can refund and buy again with the discount, that's fine to do on Steam (its even one of the options on refunding I think) and I don't mind either.
This game almost always feels brand new to play. The best roguelike game there is. Thanks for making it! Easily one of my favorite games.
That's huge praise, thank you!!
Wow! Buying this game is the gift that keeps giving. Thanks for these amazing updates/improvements. Your hard work is appreciated.
It looks amazing, It is so nice to see a developer who actually loves the game he is making and is enthusiastic so share all the changes he has made. Great job man. For me the Draft really jumps out. It would open up a lot of amazing potentials and I just love the large scale battles.
I got this game in Feb 2023, I enjoyed it a lot for a couple months and got all but one of the aspirants completed. Glad to see updates are still coming out, reinstalling it now super excited to jump back in! keep it up Jordy.
Love the new battles, but I haven't tried it yet. But still hope one day to see a RPG with a combat system like this
I've always said, I wish Skyrim's combat was like this!
Just started playing this week, and it makes me wish I could play through Titan Quest but with this combat. Feels so good!
Jordy and the team thank you so much for this amazing update! Please expand the draft it looks cool and refreshing
Thanks for the support. Glad you like the Draft mode!
Oooaah i love seeing the before and after of big updates like this! Incredible work!
100% agreed. Super helpful
My favourite feature is the mutliplayer :3
Congratz this looks like a ton of fun!
Jordy you Killin' it bro Keep up the good work man! much love!

Great progress was made, can't wait for next updates :)

i just found this game yesterday and i binged it for 24 hours straight until i finally won a run. this is the best little indie game i have ever played
Thank you for this game Game Dev. This is like the battle system that was missing from Mount & Blade. I will play this game always from time to time.

Thanks for sharing your story! Really glad you like the game.
I just looked through my steam library and saw this game and had a urge to play it again. Wow, this is so massive man! you and your team did really did great. I'm looking forward to whats next to come!
Amazing game Jordy! Proud to see our Belgian game creativity come to life in this one. ^^
Love the draft, i'm curious on how you will take it to the next level.
Aaaah, so psyched for this one! Looking forward to be part of this journey

I came back to this game after a couple months, and I'm amazed by how much its improved.
So glad for success man. You deserve it
The Grand Plaza remind me ForHonor's architecture, a fortress split in few little district for different objectives.
You are *J. Lakiere* and your passion is far beyond any development studio, any team, or marketing domination,
The procedural trap and obstacles in your arena are increase, i saw ! it's really great !
i suppose your Draft mode will be touch by the same details, we are impatient to try it, thanks to you.
8:18 Ahahahahahaha x'D
Congratulation, your progress impressive ! As a fan, i'm realy glad to saw you keep working on it !
*DRAFT* ! Multiple arena side by side could be called... *OPEN WORLD* !
I really love the Draft mode, I think we can easily assume you are preparing to make new iteration of Mount and Blade with that combat system which I would be more than happy :D. I wish you and your whole team to have massive success with this game. Cheers

I absolutely love Draft. Extremely immersive and made me feel like a roman legionary. Please keep working on it!
i remember the tournaments and grand tournaments. thank you Jordy for this amazing game!
One of the best games I've ever played! amazing work, keep it up!
Looks so good, thank you Jordy!
Love everything you and the team have done with the game. Its so fun to come back to for a few a hours every couple weeks. Can't wait for the next update!
I remember finding your game thru a youtube video by a guy named Reggie who tried only throwing stuff at enemies. It's what convinced me to get the game. Looking at this update, I imagine that challenge run would be both easier and more fun than before.
Thats one hell of a challenge, would be fun to see him try again!
The new movement and AI pathing is great! It makes the gameplay feel some much smoother and responsive. Great job!
just bought your game and I cant stop playing it! thanks for your dedication in development. love your comments on the load screens.
Brother! You outdid yourself! Congrats on everything you and the team have accomplished and all that will come in the future. I admire your vision and hard work to make that come true. I truly am blown away at this game. I'd love to hear about some of your other ideas as well, not just for this game, but you must have ideas for other genres as well. All the best man!
I have dozens and dozens of game ideas :D Guess we'll find out which one wins after WWAATD is completed.
Which of the features appeal to me most: Animation Overhaul no doubt. I'm a stickler for solid visuals and animations are a huge part of the overall visual presentation in a game like this.
This has to be one of the best early access games ever to be made. I have thousands of games and can't think of another (especially, made mostly by a solo dev) that is this much fun.

I love the Animation and AI improvments. Those two make the game a lot more immersive, which I appreciate in any game where I'm playing soldier (or gladiator).
Can't wait to support your studio on this journey ❤
Love you Jordy! Hydrate!!! I can tell from this video that at least at that time........ You have not drank enough blood of your defeated. Nor enough Aqua. LOVE YOU MY DUDE WHO MADE BEST SWORD FIGHTING GAME SINCE DIE BY THE SWORD
ive been here since this game was a single dev project i cant wait to try out the new stuff! its been a little since ive played
Best of the update for me is the animation and AI overhaul along with some of the combat tweaks. Nice to have more fluid movement and I feel this will make character control easier or more intuitive. Now the update is installed and it is time to play! Thanks for a great, fun game! Cheers from the US - Prachtig spiel!
keep up the good work, I love gladiators, spartacus, rome, greece anything like that. The game is so cool I cant wait to play the update, im most excited for the animation and sound overhauls.
PS. I wish I had your We Who Are About To Die shirt.
You're absolutely great, thank you for bringing the Gladiator game the world needed!! Btw Draft is AWESOME.
just got on a new PC and this was the 3rd game i installed. havnt played yet but just launched and watched this video. its a great game i love and im proud to support an indie dev team. o7
I really love what y'all been doing with the game, such a great improvement overall. The one little thing I've always been expecting, is to be able to remember the gladiators I've played with (I think that's Hall of Fame is about). That being said, love the game, love the updates, keep up the great work!!
楽しいアップデートありがとうございます！日本からも応援してます！
ありがとう !
You are a heroic game dev Mr Lakiere! Such a great game.
I started playing days before the tourny's were phased out! I would love to see some animal fights and multiplayer! those are the 2 biggest things. Can't wait to dive in!
Been holding off to see the direction of the game but this has finally pushed me over that edge. Gonna finally give this a go!
Welcome, Aspirant!
The animation and AI overhauls are huge quality of life improvements keep it up! I'll always take new maps!
I just bought this game off the back of this update and it is super fun so far. I nearly retired a fighter, but he was slain in the very battle that would've saved him. Aggravating, tragic, and making me want to do better. I am not a fan of rogue-likes, but this game does it right for me. Keep up the great work!
Man been cooking, good job dude keep it up
The Draft idea is already a big yes for me. I adore big battles so seeing this expanded on would be awesome. Maybe adding formations or a system where with enough renown you go in leading a small group
Rare fights and large scale battle are something I got most excited for! Im firing up a game right now.
Epic! I'm gonna boot it up again to see for myself.
Bought this game so long ago and it is just too much fun, cant wait to redownload it again and give it another go! Biggest hype would definitely be the Draft gamemode. I really would like much larger scale operations or ways of playing the game that aren't just fighting in an arena. I'd love the idea of something like a castle siege or some such. I don't know if that'll ever fit the game, but man it sounds fun.
Love this game. Subbed and I'm looking forward to the future! Well done mate :)
Haven't played the game since the camera update came out. Came back to see as the game I enjoyed before, but the updates and quality of life stuff you guys did, absolutely amazing. The draft is amazing and can see it being better. Awesome update (tad late to the party)
Love the draft, felt quite tough-but maybe I’m just not good enough yet! Best purchase I’ve made In a long time. I’ll be sticking with you all the way Jordius 🎉
I found your game from a TH-camr called Simo shoutout to him and I fell in love. Thank you I'm really enjoying the game, great work 👍
Simo is the best!
I only played the demo through last year (it was good) but bought the game right after to support your work. I can't wait to dive back in after this update! Fantastic job.
i was ogling your game for a while and the animation overhaul was the one that sold me , installing the game as i type this
I got this game after Worth a Buy. Great game! Keep up the good work guys!
Oh damn Draft looks awesome! The base combat mechanics are so fun you could actually just add any new modes, scenarios, etc and it would still be fun in my opinion. It's been a while since I last played, I had mostly finished all the content, but now I can't wait to get back into it again!
PS: I would LOVE to see co-op at some point to play this with a friend, because it's so skill based that it would be amazingly satisfying to be in the trenches and survive with a friend.
Also, just throwing this out there, it would be pretty incredible if in the future you could some how add creatures, like lions and tigers etc that might be in arenas for special fights.
Great work on everything so far, a lot of hard work put in!
Hi I've not had the chance to play your game yet but its truly inspiring to see the progress you have made. Its great to see it get regular updates too and I'll be sure to check out the Draft when I do get a chance to play!
Amazing game! Best wishes from Argentina
Just purchased it now, looking forward to playing after work.
i played so many gladiator games as child and this seems like it could be the pinnacle. I'm gonna go enjoy it some more now the update is here
Excellent video! thank you. I like all the updates. my personal interests are in its the dynamic games and immersive/unique events, such as the draft. the game mechanics of career management and such - making legends.
