Arrowhead Game Studios (Magicka, Helldivers) co-founder Emil Englund posted a blog the other day on the future of Gauntlet (released last September on Steam). Things have been awfully quiet, but the team has continued working on Gauntlet since launch with an idea to rebuild it so it turns out more to their liking.
"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."
"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..."
Additionally Arrowhead Game Studios are taking over the community management on the title (Steam forums, Facebook page, etc.) so there's a more direct line of communication between the team and the players.
