Handcrafted Mystical Games has announced that it is bringing the classic game Montezuma’s Revenge back to life in a modern remake. Montezuma’s Revenge: The 40th Anniversary Edition will be available on current consoles and PC, giving a new generation of gamers the chance to experience the iconic adventure.

In Montezuma’s Revenge, players follow Pedro the explorer or his younger sister Rosita on an expedition for glory into the deadly depths of Montezuma’s tomb. Overcome devious traps, face down monstrous foes, and find a path through the ruins to untold riches – and then see if you can do it again.

Fans of the 1983 original will have something to look forward to as well with the inclusion of a previously unreleased complete Director’s Cut of the original Montezuma’s Revenge with this new edition.

Montezuma's Revenge was ahead of its time in 1983 in how it approached replay value and challenge, distinguishing itself with multiple difficulty settings that altered the tomb’s layout, closing paths, changing enemy placement, and floors shrouded in darkness.

Montezuma’s Revenge 40th Anniversary Edition is in development and will be launched within the next 9 months. The title will be the team’s first homegrown project under the Handcrafted Mystical Games label.

The release date for the Montezuma’s Revenge remake has not yet been announced, but fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to once again explore the ancient temple and uncover its secrets.
