The History of Atari Told through Never-Before-Seen Content, Classically-inspired Experimental Games, All-New Interviews, and a Selection of Seminal Retro Favorites
New York, NY (June 29, 2022) - Atari® — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — unveiled today Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration, an interactive game experience coming this November to #pc and consoles. Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration is a robust interactive history of Atari and the creative individuals who set the video game industry in motion told through a combination of classic and modern games, videos, and unpublished interviews.
"We cannot think of a better way to celebrate our golden #anniversary than to share the decades of fun, innovation, and talent with our fans worldwide through this truly remarkable collection," said Atari CEO #waderosen. "To say it's an honor to bring this collection to life is an understatement. I speak for everyone at Atari when I say we are elated to share this new Atari experience with the world as our 50th-anniversary celebration."
Far more than just a collection of games, Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration is a true interactive history of the iconic publisher and a celebration of the small team in Silicon Valley who combined their creativity, curiosity, and passion, resulting in what would be Atari. Through an interactive linear timeline, players access a trove of over 90 video games organized by era, as well as various files and assets, including early development sketches, hardware schematics, internal memos, images, videos, and other "artifacts," much of which have never been accessible by the public. Behind every game are the stories of Atari, what was happening at the company, what went into the creation of the games, and the hardware they ran on—told by the #people who were there.
Unlike any other video game collection in existence, Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration emulates eight different Atari hardware platforms in one package—a true feat by the development team at Digital Eclipse. The collection includes titles drawn from five decades — a library of published works that represent the evolution of game development and the Atari games that influenced what would become the video game industry as we know it today.
Key Features of Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration Include:
Developed Digital Eclipse, Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration will be available in November 2022 on Nintendo #switch, #xbox One and Series X|S, #playstation 4|5, and Windows #pc via Steam and Epic Games Store.
