Atari Reveals new Details for the 'Ataribox'

Atari initially announced last month that they are working on their first console in 20 years, and although this was exciting news, very little details were shared to get our hopes up or build anticipation. Luckily, Atari has shared some new details about the upcoming 'Ataribox', but we're still without an idea on pricing or a release date. Yes it's kind of a tease, but Atari claims that they'd like to share their progress with us step by step, no matter how tedious it may seem.

"We know you are hungry for more details; on specs, games, features, pricing, timing etc. Were not teasing you intentionally; we want to get this right, so weve opted to share things step by step as we bring Ataribox to life, and to listen closely to Atari community feedback as we do so. There are a lot of milestones, challenges and decision points in front of us in the months ahead. Well be giving you lots more information and status updates as we progress, and we are thrilled to have you along for the ride!"

What we do now know is what the 'Ataribox" will look like. Hopefully, more updates like this follow in a timely and consistent manner so the 'Ataribox' stays fresh in the consumer's minds.

"Inspired by classic Atari design elements (such as the iconic use of wood, ribbed lines, and raised back); we are creating a smooth design, with ribs that flow seamlessly all around the body of the product, a front panel that can be either wood or glass, a front facing logo, indicator lights that glow through the material, and an array of new ports (HDMI, 4xUSB, SD). We intend to release two editions: a wood edition, and a black/red edition."
