[Game Launch] Celebrate 50 Years of History with Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, Available Now
New York, NY (November 11, 2022) - Atari® — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive #entertainment producers — today launches its new title, Atari 50: The Celebration, commemorating 50 years of success, growth, and progress in the video game industry. Available now on Nintendo #switch, #xbox One and Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, and Windows #pc, Atari 50 functions as an interactive trek through Atari's historic past, featuring a selection of the publisher's most iconic games, and brands, as well as showcasing the creative individuals who launched the video game industry.
A mix of video game collection-meets-anthology, Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration showcases the history of #atari through a combination of retro and modern playable games, short videos, never-before-seen interviews, early development diaries, and more. Emulating seven separate console platforms, and containing titles spanning five decades, the library-styled interface presents over 100 video games sorted by era in an intuitive linear timeline. Other files and materials are also part of the package, including early development sketches, hardware schematics, internal memos, pictures, films, and other "artifacts," the majority of which have never been made public.
A digital romp through Atari's enduring past and a peek into the creative minds that created the publisher's legacy, Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration invites players to explore the golden age of video games through a new lens. Watch #atari grow from a small Silicon Valley startup to the iconic brand it quickly grew to become, explore early game concepts, and enjoy a handful of reimagined fan-favorites lovingly created by developer Digital Eclipse.
Additional Key Features:
- Expert Insight Through Storytelling: The collection is outfitted with a handful of various never-before-seen interviews with past-and-present #atari leadership as well as other prolific names in the games industry; complemented, of course, by the video game developers who helped raise #atari to become an industry icon.
- Playable History: The massive selection of over 100 games spans seven different platforms: Arcade, 2600, 5200, 7800, #atari 8-bit computers, and, for the first time ever on modern consoles, #atari Lynx and Jaguar! Play the classics like Tempest 2000, Asteroids, and Yars' Revenge, or dive into some deeper cuts.
- Reimagined and Revisited: The team at Digital Eclipse created six new games for the collection that reimagines some of the most beloved #atari classics or put a twist on classic game themes, including Haunted House, Neo Breakout, Yars' Revenge, Vctr Sctr, and the infamously never-finished Airworld.
Developed by Digital Eclipse, Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration launches today on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, and Windows #pc via Steam and Epic Games Store for $39.99. Atari 50: The #anniversary Celebration releases for #atari VCS later this year.
Physical editions are also available via Best Buy, Amazon, Target, and Gamestop, with availability via select retailers outside the US.
