PARIS, FRANCE (October [31], 2023 - 8.00 am CET) - Atari® (the “Company”) — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Digital Eclipse Entertainment Partners Co (“Digital Eclipse”), a game development studio originally founded in 1992 focused on the digital restoration of classic video games, based in Emeryville, California.​

The acquisition of Digital Eclipse will allow Atari to expand its internal development capabilities and utilize Digital Eclipse’s industry-leading experience and proprietary technology. In joining Atari, Digital Eclipse will grow its business and capabilities by expanding its development capacity and access to world-class IP and will leverage Atari’s management expertise.

By adding Digital Eclipse, along with Nightdive Studios in May 2023, Atari will be able to further support its retro-focused growth strategy.

Good. I'm waiting for price cuts but they've put out some of the best retro collections ever made as far as I can tell.

Atari 50 and Making of Karateka.

Never before seen products that go this in depth on supplemental material, with playable demo builds, developer interviews, documents, and a remaster. It's far past Criterion for film.

That atari game they made was a great piece. I would like DE to just make some great documentaries.

Wasn't Atari acquire Nightdive Studios as well? If so, damn, they have two of the best remaster companies around.
