Eidos Interactive confirmed that Gauntlet will be released on Nintendo DS later this year. Gauntlet on the DS will be a reworking of the classic fantasy hack-and-slash arcade game from Midway by developer Backbone Entertainment. The game will feature 40 maps across three realms, and will use fast-paced, RPG gameplay along with in-depth multiplayer features including both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. Furthermore, Gauntlet will offer VoIP communication between gamers via the DS microphone. Check out what Mr. Ray Livingston from Eidos had to say: “With Gauntlet we’ve revitalized all of the action and fun of the original 1980s arcade classic, whilst updating the visuals and gameplay for today’s DS gamer,” said Ray Livingston, Brand Manager at Eidos. “With four-player Wi-Fi cooperative mode, one of the most memorable multiplayer gaming experiences of all time is back with a bang.” Gauntlet is set in a fantasy-themed universe where evil cloaks the world from the high clouds of Ascendia to the depths of the lava-ridden Abyss. Players can choose from the four classic heroes, Elf, Warrior, Wizard, and Valkyrie, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and special abilities. Throughout the journey, the heroes will slash their way through demonic foes and gain up to four power move abilities to aid them in their battle with evil.
