At a press conference today, Midway has announced a new Gauntlet game for home consoles. In a surprise revelation, John Romero, the famous (and infamous) creator of Doom and Daikatana, will be developing the title.
Gauntlet is a long-running franchise that first made its debut at the arcades in the 80"s. Numerous installments followed, including Gaunlets Dark Legacy for the PS2, Xbox, and GBA, and Gaunlet Legends for the Dreamcast, N64 and PlayStation. Given the trend of multiple console releases, it is likely that Gauntlet 2005 will see a release on the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube.
