Atari and developer Chequered Ink, announced today that PONG Quest, a humorous new RPG reimagining of the flagship arcade classic PONG, is coming soon to Windows PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PS4.
It’s PONG like you’ve never thought it could be! Immerse yourself in a whole new world of PONG-inspired fun where you’ll adventure as a brave young paddle traversing a variety of treacherous dungeons, all loosely based on classic Atari hits, including Asteroids, Centipede and more. Your journey will dictate the fate of PONG World as you reveal the mysteries of… the Spooky Door.
“PONG as an RPG is something completely unexpected, but wonderful in execution,” said Atari COO Jean-Marcel Nicolai. “We are thrilled to bring PONG Quest to life to honor the classic IP and bring the beloved gameplay to a new generation of players and RPG fans. Atari has a rich portfolio of titles and exploring new ways to breathe new life into those franchises yields exciting results.”
