"While it has been great working with [publisher] Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the development phase and our time together is now drawing to a close and Arrowhead's involvement with the support of the game will come to an end," the studio said in a blog post. "This means we likely will not release any more patches for the game."

In other words, any nagging issues you wanted to see addressed or improvements you were hoping to see made are probably not coming. However, all PC players should now have access to the items previously available only as preorder bonuses.

With Arrowhead moving on, it's advising players to direct any support issues to Warner Bros. Some of its staff members will, however, continue to discuss the game with fans on its forums.

"We thank every single one of you for supporting us along this journey," Arrowhead said. "It has been an incredible experience to work on one of our childhood favorite games and so much fun remaking this classic. We can only hope that you have enjoyed playing as well, and will continue having fun with friends for a long time to come."

Gauntlet launched last year on PC, and was followed by the release of an enhanced version (Slayer Edition) on PS4 and PC this summer. Arrowhead also this year released Helldivers for PS4, PS3, and Vita. Its next game has yet to be announced, with the studio only referring to it as its "upcoming secret project."

I've made $76,000 so far this year w orking online and I'm a full time student. Im using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it.

@al_is_here: I agree. It is a lot of fun to play with friends, and it is a great game. I still think they could've done something more to improve the customisation a little. Feels a bit stale as is, but overall the rest is solid. Worth it if you like those types of games, but don't expect anything new to the series. 7/10 on my end

@jamiermusic: yeah i would back your rating for sure.I felt as if it could have been better and not only by game design but also by having community support with mods.A wider range of abillities and characters would have been nice and more game modes or custom game modes.

They're moving on because no one is playing it. They messed up. They tried to make it like the original... and didn't understand that we wanted Gauntlet Legends.

Gauntlet Legend was fun back then...but playing it recently isnt the same as it used to...picking up the same power-ups over and over gets redundant real quick...no real customization aside for the unloackable characters and the combat is pretty dull when compared to other top-down adventure games.
