Game goes free
In a few days, The Gauntlet will be available for free in its current state as the development on the game has come to a stop. It's always a hard decision to make to stop development on a game but considering the feedbacks and the amount of work necessary to make the game follow what the players want it would be better to start a fresh project from scratch and use the accumulated experience to develop an even better one. The game will still be available as a free game for everyone to test it but it won't get any further update so be aware that you may find some bugs while playing. Huge thank you to all that played the game and I hope you'll like our next project.Read full article on Community Announcements (Vityy)Patch NotesOfficial
