An Archon Classic DEVblog has word that a PC remake of Archon is nearing release from React! Games, developer of the current iPhone remake of the old school strategy game as well as another upcoming Archon-based iPhone game (thanks Kotaku). Presales of the new PC version will begin on October 15, and its release will be "soon." The new version is based on the original (which was based on Chess), but adds enhancements, including four-player multiplayer support. Word is: "There are many other surprises in store for the PC, such as various new boards, new abilities, etc. I don’t have any screenshots yet, mainly because the TEMP art is so ugly…but that will change soon."
