The classic fantasy-themed board game hybrid Archon has a number of fans since it was first released in 1983 by Free Fall Associates. It has been the inspiration for many strategy and board games ever since. Now it appears the original is getting a true revamp via new game developer React! Games.

The company announced earlier this month (but just spotted today) that they plan to release a new version of the game sometime in 2009. Details of the revival are still unannounced but a post on Kotaku features a quote from React! Games co-founder Chad Lee who does state the game will be released for the PC, Mac and Linux platforms. We will hopefully get more info on this new Archon revival sometime in the new year.
