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.
