Gauntlet DS was an unreleased installment in the renowned hack and slash series, developed by Backbone Entertainment and intended for publication by Eidos Interactive and Midway Games. Announced for an October 2008 release, the game was ultimately canceled, likely due to Midway's financial issues. It was designed to feature local and online multiplayer, 40 maps, and voice chat.
Gauntlet DS is the cancelled chapter of the popular hack and slash series, that was in development at Backbone Entertainment and it would have been published by Eidos Interactive / Midway Games. The game should have been released in October 2008, but after its initial announcement, the project vanished from their release list. There’s not any official statement, but it’s possible that Gauntlet DS was canned for economic reasons.
The bankruptcy of Midway Games, owners of the Gauntlet license, could be one of the reasons behind the game’s death. The game would have had local wireless and online four-player mode, 40 maps, and voice chat capabilities. We really hope that in the future a playable version of this game could be leaked and preserved, it looked like an awesome coop-game!
