During the data mining of an unrelated title (Ryse: Son of Rome for PC), hackers found string references to "Spartacus_Proto_MMXII" in the leftover code. Later, in 2021, a prototype build was leaked to the Internet Archive. While unplayable on modern systems (crashing after the title screen), the audio files were extracted.
Spartacus: Vengeance (released in 2012, or MMXII) stands as one of the most pivotal and emotionally charged chapters in cable television history. Serving as the second full season of the Starz original series, it faced the monumental task of continuing the legend of the Thracian gladiator following the tragic passing of the show’s original lead, Andy Whitfield. spartacus mmxii
