Gauntlet coming this summer

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced Gauntlet, a completely modernized action RPG version of the classic dungeon crawler, will be available this summer via Steam for PC.

The title will offer full support for SteamOS and the upcoming Steam Machines shipping the second half of this year. The game will lead the launch of WB Games Vault, a direct-to-digital portfolio that will deliver paid games based on popular Warner Bros. and Midway brands, plus original IP, across multiple digital networks.

Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, the game hopes to innovate on past titles while staying true to the brand’s legendary format. Players select from four classic fantasy-based characters: Warrior, Wizard, Valkyrie, or Elf. Each character has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. For example, the Warrior does the most damage in melee combat, the Wizard has the most powerful magic, the Valkyrie has the most armor and the Elf moves the fastest.

Upon selecting a playable character, the gameplay is set within dungeons where the object is to fight through the chambers slaying creatures and completing challenges. An assortment of special items can be located in each dungeon includuing magical relics, health boosts, and keys to closed doors. The enemies are a vast assortment of fantasy-based monsters, including ghosts, grunts, demons, spiders, sorcerers and skeleton warriors.

Gauntlet will be released for PC and published by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment.
