Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition resurrects a timeless classic for consoles and PC

Today we are thrilled to announce that 1984 platforming adventure classic Montezuma’s Revenge will be coming to Steam in 2024, both as a 2.5D remake and also an expanded Director’s Cut of the retro original, bundled together in a Deluxe Edition for Steam. The reimagined modern version of Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition is also in development for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, expected to release in 2025. The Steam page is now live, with Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition available to wishlist.

Originally developed by Robert Jaeger and released in 1984, Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition resurrects and expands the game to 100 rooms, the total that was originally intended, but now the timeless classic has been updated with 2.5D visuals presented in widescreen HD. Additionally, Robert Jaeger has expanded the original pixel version of his game, complete for the first time and to be made available as a special Director’s Cut. Both games will be part of the Deluxe Edition bundle on Steam.

Physical editions of Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition are in the works for Nintendo Switch and pre-orders will open this Thursday, October 10th with online retail partner Playasia. Only 2000 Limited Editions will be produced and are to include Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition on a Nintendo Switch game card, manual, soundtrack CD and numbered certificate plus the PC version of the expanded retro game Montezuma’s Revenge: Director’s Cut on a custom key-shaped USB drive, all packaged in a collector’s box with newly produced artwork. Standard copies will also be available for pre-order.
