Atari announced Asteroids: Outpost today, calling the new take on the 35-year-oldAsteroids a "bold re-imagining" of the brand. That's a pretty accurate statement, sinceAsteroids: Outpost is not an arcade space shooter, but an open-world, sandbox-style survival game.

Asteroids: Outpost is developed by Salty Games for Windows PC. It will come to Early Access on Steam "soon," Atari says.

So, yeah, Centipede next right?

Need openworld Pong.. Not astroids..

Super Sprint FPS next please.

Sounds like a decent game, don't get why it has to be a re-imagining of an old game that has nothing to do with this rather than a new IP tho.

Someone trying to increase the value of their mediocre game with a popular license? Nothing to see here.

First Alone 4 Dead in the Dark and now this. Atari, what the fuck are you doing?

Came here to say something along these lines.  I figure that people are going to be 'pissed' that classic asteroids is getting re-imagined......but if you just think of it as a new IP (and people are ALWAYS looking for new IPs instead of sequels) with the asteroid name, it could be something to get excited about.

Oh, Atari.. You love doing funny things, don't you?
