Gods & Heroes is a massively multiplayer RPG of mythic adventure in the ancient world featuring epic God Powers, intense squad-based combat, and creatures drawn from the myths and legends of the ancient world.

Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising is a Roman mythology themed Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game.

Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising is a full scale action adventure MMO that immerses the audience in Roman mythology. Players step into a hero’s sandals to battle monsters and command minions while seeking favor from the gods.

In Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising, gamers take on the role of a Demigod and celebrated hero of the Roman army. These brave warriors set out on a quest for vengeance against an ancient enemy, the Telchine gods, who have returned to topple the empire and avenge their defeat at the hands of the Olympian gods.

Dedicated Romans can purchase a year of playtime for $99.99 or a lifetime subscription for $199.99.

“Based on the feedback from our beta players, we feel that this pricing further makes Gods & Heroes an attractive choice for MMO fans,” said Executive Producer and Heatwave CEO Anthony Castoro.

While battling in the midst of Roman landmarks and legendary scenery, players will also experience:

  • Fully Customizable Estates -The Hero's goal is to regain the power of the gods and rebuild their Ancestral Estate.
