Gameplay
Highlander: The Game will be a third-person action game featuring a previously unknown Immortal, Owen MacLeod as the main character
An Immortal cannot die from wounds that would be fatal to a mortal such as gunshots, electricity shocks and falls from a great height. As such, certain encounters will involve Owen using his body as a conductor for high-voltage electrical currents or jumping off a building. Though these actions will not kill him, he will be severely injured.
Over and above his ability to withstand otherwise lethal attacks, Owen will be able to use certain magical abilities such as resurrection, chi balance, fireblade, wind fury and stone armor, to name a few. Like any other Immortal in the Highlander franchise, Owen must wield various types of swords to do battle with other Immortals. Owen can also choose between other swordfighting styles to defeat his enemies.
The game will span up to 18 missions in which Owen will encounter up to 77 unique characters. Most of these characters will be Immortals just like Owen and must be slain. Some of these characters will be previously known -
Connor MacLeod and
Duncan MacLeod are both expected to make appearances and
Methos has been confirmed as Owen's mentor.
Story
The story revolves around Owen MacLeod, ancestor to both
Connor MacLeod and
Duncan MacLeod. It begins over two thousand years ago. And similar to other
Highlander films and media, the story spans several timelines including Ancient
Gaul,
Pompeii, and finally modern-day
New York City.

Owen is captured and enslaved by Romans who force him to compete as a
gladiator. During this time, Owen dies only to come back to life.
Methos, the oldest living Immortal, approaches Owen to be his mentor. He teaches Owen about
The Game and how he and other immortals can only be slain by
beheading.
As with other Immortal MacLeods, Owen is pursued throughout his life by an arch-nemesis. This enemy proves to be extremely powerful, one that Owen is unable to defeat. Owen learns of a magical stone, fragments of which are scattered all over the world. Throughout the game, Owen embarks upon a quest to recover these fragments and restore the stone in an attempt to gain the power to overcome his foe.
Estou a brincar claro.
