Arrowhead Game Studios' own take on the Gauntlet franchise seems to have largely faded from memory after a poor critical reception on release. In spite of that, the company - also responsible for the Magicka series - has recently promised to continue working on the title, and specifically mentioned a free content update that will be available in the future, which will include a new game mode and improvements for the Campaign and Colosseum modes.
We're given no concrete timeframe, but the folks at Arrowhead seem convinced that this will help move the title closer to the original vision, after what was a disappointing release for them. I'll quote the full post:
Gauntlet fans,
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.
