Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration set a new standard for retro collections when it launched in 2022, proving that these compilations could be much more than random assortments of beloved games by turning the whole thing into an interactive documentary. Now, Atari 50 is getting a massive expansion with 39 additional games that's telling more of the publisher's history, including the story of gaming's first console war.
Atari 50 is split between five "timelines" focusing on different parts of the publisher's history, and the upcoming Expanded Edition is set to add two more. The Wider World of Atari features 19 added games and seems like a bit of a grab bag, featuring games like cult classic shooter Berzerk, a look at the artist who created the Atari logo, and a dive into the world of Atari Homebrew.
