There\u2019s also some new games this time round.<\/p>\n
As well as returning classics Duel, The Wall, Powerball, Gauntlet, Hang Tough and the infamous Eliminator, three new games have been added to the mix for the new show.<\/p>\n
In episode 1, which kicks off on Saturday 13th January, viewers will see two of the new games: The Ring<\/strong> and Collision<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In The Ring, Two contenders will enter The Ring attempting to hit the central G logo to score points. Standing in their way, however, are two mighty Gladiators who will be doing everything they can to stop them.<\/p>\n Points will be added to the final score, and the player with the most points will get a head start at the final Eliminator challenge.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n As well as The Ring, viewers will also see Collision, which is a brand new game for 2024. During Collision, each contender will attempt to cross a precarious suspension bridge, taking balls from one side to the other to score points.<\/p>\n But there\u2019s a twist: as they\u2019re making their way across this bridge, four powerful Gladiators will be swinging in from either side in a bid to take the contender out.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll have to wait until later episodes for the third new game, known as The Edge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In this game, contenders, 8m above the arena floor, will traverse a narrow network of beams as many times as possible to score points, without falling or being thrown off by the oncoming fearless Gladiator.<\/p> Speaking ahead of the launch, co-host Barney said he\u2019d be up for taking on The Edge, explaining: \u201cI don\u2019t really have a fear of heights, so I think The Edge would be one that I\u2019d like.<\/p>\n \u201cImagine a game like British bulldog, but it\u2019s suspended up in the air and if you fall you land into a net \u2013 that sounds like my cup of tea! I think I\u2019d have fun with Hang Tough and I\u2019d like to think I\u2019d be good a Duel, unless someone like Giant is at the other end, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d win that, but with the others I might just have a chance!\u201d<\/p> \n
