Atari Celebrates 50th Anniversary with First-Time-Ever Founder Interview, Stadia Announcement
CEO #waderosen and Founder #nolanbushnell Share Their Thoughts on the Legacy of #atari in an Exclusive Discussion and #atari Shares First Details on Its Recharged Series Joining #stadia Pro
PARIS, FRANCE (June 27, 2022) - Atari® — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — is marking the celebration of the company's founding on June 27, 1972, with an exclusive video featuring a discussion between CEO #waderosen and founder #nolanbushnell.
In a video available exclusively on IGN and Atari's official website, CEO #waderosen and founder #nolanbushnell sit down to discuss Atari's legacy of creativity and innovation, its formative role in the development of the modern video game industry, the #atari brand's sustained role in popular culture, and what will define the company as it pushes forward for the next 50 years.
Atari is honoring its fans and customers with a special Golden Anniversary sale happening now, with limited-time deals on the #atari VCS and exclusive 50th-anniversary t-shirts, both available now at www.Atari.com.
"The story of the early days of #atari is, in many ways, the history of the birth of video games," said #waderosen, #atari CEO. "I'm excited to share this very special conversation with founder #nolanbushnell as we celebrate the tremendous impact of #atari on popular culture and the video game industry over the past fifty years."
Since Rosen took the role of CEO, #atari has returned to its roots in premium game development and publishing, releasing new titles and bringing more content to #pc, console, and streaming platforms. As part of this return, the company today announced that five of these new games are coming to #stadia, Google's gaming platform.
The first four games in the Atari Recharged series – Centipede, Black Widow, Asteroids, and Breakout – are coming to Stadia this year. Centipede: Recharged launches July 1, 2022, for purchase on the #stadia store and to claim for free with #stadia Pro. The Recharged series updates classic #atari games for current-generation gaming hardware and adds gameplay features that appeal to modern players, including particle effects, power-ups, co-op play, and original soundtracks by award-winning composer Megan McDuffee. In addition to the Recharged games, the critically acclaimed puzzle game Kombinera will be added to #stadia in September 2022.
Expect more news, including game and product announcements, to follow during the week as #atari continues to celebrate 50 years. Stay up-to-date on all things #atari and the 50th-anniversary announcements by following on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
