Arrowhead’s love letter to classic dungeon crawling and arcade action games, Gauntlet, may not have won over the mainstream…but to fans of the original 1980’s classic it was based on, the familiar fights over food and gold brought back a lot of good memories. Though you’d think by now the game would be finished and all work on it would have ceased, news coming from the developer’s blog seems to point to the opposite. Addressing their fans, they state that new content is soon to be on its way for the hack-n-slasher:

I know that you have been in the dark for a while now, possibly thinking that we were concentrating all our efforts on other things.

I am here to tell you that this is not the case and that the team has been tirelessly working on the game. We have big improvements and a few new features coming up for Gauntlet! Something which we know a lot of you were crying out for.

I can’t tell you too much right now, but if you keep watching this space we will be releasing little teasers and tidbits of information over the next few months.

In truth, we were never fully satisfied with how Gauntlet turned out. So, rather than just fixing little things here and there, we have been working on the core of the game to turn it into what we originally envisioned.

This will mean a free major content update for the game, including improvements to the Campaign and the Colosseum as well as a brand new game mode. I’m pretty sure I was allowed to tell you about the game mode…

They also state they have taken over their game’s forums on Steam, so you may now speak to them directly if you so wish. You can buy the game right now for 19.99, though it’s likely to get slashed once the Steam summer sale starts, if you can wait that long.
