As a legendary video game brand, Atari is now fully committed to preserving gaming heritage. The French company’s recent acquisition further reinforces this strategy.
Indeed, Atari has announced the acquisition of Implicit Conversion, a studio specializing in 32-bit game emulation, including titles from the original PlayStation. The developer has notably worked on Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection and Rayman in collaboration with Digital Eclipse.
Through this partnership, the two companies plan to release more retro games on modern consoles. Atari CEO Wade Rosen commented on the matter in a press release.
« Thanks to our extensive portfolio of intellectual property and our strong relationships with key rights holders, we have many opportunities ahead of us. We look forward to collaborating with other owners of iconic licenses to take full advantage of these promising technologies. »
It’s exciting to see Atari taking steps to preserve gaming heritage through this acquisition. Emulation can really help bring classic games to new audiences, and it’s great to see a legendary brand like Atari continuing to innovate in the gaming space.
