Atari, one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers, today announced Tempest 4000, a visually stunning, action-packed shooter based on the classic arcade game, Tempest, will be available this holiday season on current generation consoles and PC. Developed by legendary game designer Jeff Minter, Tempest 4000 remains faithful to the original fast-paced gameplay while adding exciting new features and gorgeous graphics for audiences on the most popular contemporary platforms.
“In Tempest 4000, players are once again in control of the Claw, a powerful spacecraft equipped to destroy deadly creatures and other obstructions with rapid-fire shots on vibrant geometric prisms. With three game modes to choose from and 100 levels to conquer, players must eliminate all enemies as quickly as possible to survive and achieve that coveted spot at the top of the leaderboards.”
Additional Key Features
• Arcade Style Shooter: Blast down hordes of enemies in this fast-paced arcade style shoot ‘em up.
• Unparalleled Graphics: Experience Tempest 4000’s mind-blowing graphics in beautiful 4K resolution.
• Multiple Game Modes: Pick from three different game modes including Standard, Pure and Endurance that will push your skills to the limit.
• Level Up: Progress and clear through 100 unique geometric levels by destroying enemies with various weapons and power-ups, and earn upgrades through bonus rounds.
• Climb to the Top of the Leaderboards: Post your high score in your quest to be recognized as number one on the leaderboards.
• Retro Techno Soundtrack: Enjoy the beats of a thumping soundtrack inspired by early 1990’s techno.
• Old School Gameplay: Feeling nostalgic? Relive the traditional gameplay of the original Tempest with enhanced graphics on current generation consoles.
Tempest 4000 will be coming out later in 2017 to consoles and PC.
The involvement of Minter is great news, considering that previously he was ‘beyond disgusted’ with Atari after it hit his studio Llamasoft with a lawsuit over the PS Vita title, TxK, which Minter had previously described as being ‘distantly related to Tempest 2000’. This resulted in TxK being withdrawn from sale, and planned releases on multiple formats were cancelled.
