- Happy Gladio Mori Launch! - 16 September 2026
Gladio Mori is out now worldwide on across all platforms! Before we get into the details of it all, a few words from LittleLegatus, the creator and solo developer of Gladio Mori!"It feels like it has only been a few months since I released the first demo of Gladio Mori, yet somehow it also feels like it has been a decade. Somewhere in a sea of 1s and 0s, there is a pile of countless John Gladios who didn't make it thanks to your hard work. I would like to thank you all for helping me mold Gladio Mori into what it is today. Whether you helped with moderation and testing, created mods, suggested features, reported bugs, or simply played the game, it is all appreciated. Gladio Mori would not be the same without the community's input. Thank you."-LittleLegatus, creator and developer of Gladio Mori1.0 - Gladio Mori features:31 movesets (weapons), 15 armor equipment pieces6 arenasUp to 4 play…
- 16 September 2026. That is the date - 21 August 2026
Almost two years. You have been in here the whole time arguing about hitboxes, posting movesets, and mods. Complaining about bugs at two in the morning and telling us when something felt wrong. A lot of the features in the game exists just because of that. And we are not just being polite when we say it. Thanks you everyone who have played so far.Nothing changes for you between now and then. If you have bought the game, you get full version. Your movesets come with you. Just update the game on Steam and thats it. See you on the arena.
