Ever since the rumors began swirling around Midway's upcoming Gauntlet title, expectations have run high for the game. The classic arcade franchise was successfully revived seven years ago with Gauntlet Legends, an arcade release that found its way to home consoles. However, the revival missed the online phase of this generation's platforms, and the subsequent Gauntlet titles that appeared remained strictly offline experiences. As word of a new Gauntlet title has made the rounds, anticipation has grown for it following the revelation that the development team currently working on it at Midway's San Diego studio is being led by industry vets John Romero and Josh Sawyer.
