Atari, along with Mighty Yell and 13AM Games have announced a reinvention of a classic is coming to PC and consoles later this year in Mission Command Delta.
Coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC (via Steam), the game “reimagines Atari’s 1980s missile defense arcade classic as a turn-based tactical game set against a mysterious narrative that leaves you questioning whether you’re trapped in a simulation or truly defending cities from attack.”
“While Missile Command Delta approaches gameplay in a completely new way, it retains all the tension and suspense of the arcade original,” said Ethan Stearns, VP of Games at Atari. “You have to think strategically about every move you make because even one poor choice can have grave consequences.”
“Missile Command Delta has a little something for every kind of player — whether you love strategy tactics games, are a mystery fan, a secret hunting completionist, or you just love to explore and solve puzzles. We can’t wait for players to get their hands on the game later this year.”
As players explore an abandoned half-century old facility they will encounter locked doors, dishevelled work rooms, massive super computers and newly awakened missile command terminals. Players must defend against waves of missiles from an unknown enemy using a battery of missiles, each with its own unique type, range, and explosion size. Only by managing their arsenal carefully will they have enough firepower to clear the skies.
As enemy attacks increase and pressure mounts, relationships will be put to the test, blurring the lines between what is real and who they can trust. If they succeed, they may even learn the truth behind this Cold War defense program.
Missile Command Delta is coming to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch later this year.
