Fans of retro gaming will soon be able to roll back the years and enjoy 100 classic Atari and arcade titles on the PS4 and Xbox One, thanks to the imminent release of Atari Flashback Classics – Volumes 1 and 2.
Released as two separate volumes, each packed with 50 titles including the likes of Combat, Centipede, Swordquest, Star Raiders, Asteroids, Haunted House, Adventure and Major Havoc – all remastered in HD. As well as boasting an extensive visual archive of classic artwork for each game, both volumes also include a range of new in-game features. Gamers can play online, unlock achievements and try their best to secure a place on global leaderboards.
“We are glad to bring these games to PS4 and Xbox One in Europe with our partners” said Frédéric Chesnais, CEO of Atari. “These games have been released more than 45 years ago, but there is always something new and exciting about them, and I am sure all players will enjoy them.”. Andy Pearson, Head of Marketing (Hardware and Tech) at distributors PQube, said: “With retro gaming increasing in popularity, it’s great to see more classics get a new lease of life on two of today’s best-selling consoles. Both games offer fantastic value for money and will help bring popular Atari 2600 video games like Asteroids to a new generation of gamers.”
