Atari VCS announced - more details this week

Atari has unveiled the Atari VCS, a modern take on their classic gaming console, but with more features than ever.

Players will get to experience the classic games, with the classic joystick controller, but also with the more modern design, for more modern experiences.

“Every person at Atari and every partner involved with the new platform is just as fanatical about the brand and its heritage as our biggest fans are,” explained Michael Arzt, Atari COO of Connected Devices. “With the Atari VCS name, we know how important it is to get everything completely right and that’s why we briefly paused an imminent launch late last year. It was a difficult decision with the countdown underway, but we weren’t willing to go forward with even one thing out of alignment. We hope that Atari’s fans appreciate our extreme attention to detail and are as excited about the Atari VCS as we are.”   

More details are expected this week, once the machine is debuted at GDC, so stay tuned for that.
