Atari has announced Breakout Beyond for PC and console, a colorful and entirely novel reimagining of the beloved arcade title Breakout. Developed by Choice Provisions, the studio behind the Bit.Trip series, Breakout Beyond will be the newest addition to the legendary collection of titles from Atari, following the 2022 title Breakout: Recharged.
Released in 1976, Breakout quickly became a global phenomenon, attracting massive crowds to game centers across the world and becoming one of the highest-grossing arcade titles of the year in both the United States and Japan. Breakout was quickly ported to the Atari 2600, and a sequel, Super Breakout, popped up in arcades in 1978. Notably, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs worked on the logic chips found in the arcade cabinets before the duo went on to found the illustrious Apple Computer Company. Nearly 50 years later, Atari is turning the acclaimed series upside down, with gamers soon able to experience the arcade juggernaut in an entirely new way.
