Later this year, Atari plans to unveil “Breakout Beyond,” a modern take on their iconic arcade game.

The original Breakout debuted in arcades in 1976, and then came to the Atari 2600 in 1978.

Breakout Beyond flips everything upside-down, sporting a revamped appearance, vibrant electric hues, and electrifying lines that give it a hint of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. It seems Atari aims to achieve the ‘retro evolved’ feel.

Breakout Beyond will also feature, according to the publisher:

  • Unlockable endless mode with an online global leaderboard
  • 72 challenging levels that will put players’ brick-breaking skills to the test
  • Two-player co-op to manage (or ramp up) the chaos with a friend
  • Procedural audio and visual effects that increase in intensity with each combo

There is an announcement trails for the upcoming game. The descriptions reads:

Experience Breakout like never before in ‘Breakout Beyond’! Developed by Choice Provisions (BIT.TRIP), this vibrant, neon-infused version of the classic game offers endless combo opportunities and powerful upgrades to help you reach your destination.

The game by Atari doesn’t have a specified launch date yet, but they’ve hinted it will arrive towards the end of this year. It will be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms.
