Atari Is Reviving Two More Of Its Classic Franchises On Xbox Very Soon
Since the release of the excellent Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration a couple of years ago, we’ve seen a couple of Xbox titles from the company in Rollercoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe and the Pong-inspired qomp2, and now we’re about to get another two games based on some of the company’s classic franchises.
The first of these is Lunar Lander Beyond, which is a fresh take on the “Lunar Lander” series that originated in the arcades back in 1979. Later in the year, we’re also going to get NeoSprint, which brings the Atari “Sprint” series back to life in the form of an 8-player arcade racer with “robust” track building tools.
Both of these look pretty interesting, so we’ll leave this more details about each of them down below:
Lunar Lander Beyond (April 23)
Guide a roster of colorful pilots, eclectic advisors and state-of-the-art landers through a taxing series of missions. Deliver cargo, retrieve resources, and rescue stranded pilots as you navigate a mysterious universe of moons and planets.
NeoSprint (Summer TBD)
The exhilarating Atari racing classic “Sprint” series returns! NeoSprint zooms back to life as a single screen arcade racer for up to 8 players, paired with a robust track builder and intuitive sharing tools, ensuring a racing experience that satisfies speed demons and architects alike.
