After reliving some old-school rivalries with last year’s Intellivision-themed DLC, Atari 50 is welcoming another classic contemporary through its interactive museum doors. Namco’s legendary line-up of retro titles (or a few of them at least) are arriving in new DLC soon.
Atari 50’s Namco Legendary Pack introduces an all-new interactive timeline focusing on the Japanese publisher’s classic output, exploring the history of its games on Atari hardware through video interviews, archival materials, documents, and photos from the era.
And you’d better be a Pac-Man fan! Atari 50’s Namco Legendary Pack includes three versions of the classic ball-gobbler – Pac-Man 2600, 5200, and Atari 8-bit, specifically – marking “the first ever re-release of these games for consoles.”
On top of that, you’ve got US arcade versions of Dig Dug and Xevious (“developed by Namco in Japan and originally released by Atari, re-released in this form for the first time ever”), plus home console versions of Galaga, Xevious, Galaxian, and Dig Dug.
There’s no word of a release date for all this yet, but it’s coming to Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch “soon”. And if you’ve yet to sample Atari 50’s retro delights, last year saw the release of a standalone Expanded Edition, combining the already hugely generous base game and its Wider World of Atari DLC into a single bundle featuring 150+ titles.
