Atari has revealed details and images of its first console in over 20 years, the Ataribox.
In a statement, the company said that it will launch two versions of the machine – a red/black version and a wood version – that will feature “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)“.
The company has said it wants to bring both “current” and “classic” gaming content to the new device, which will contain “modern internal specs.”
“As you can guess, those ports suggest modern internal specs,” Atari said. “It also means that while we will be delivering classic gaming content, we will also be delivering current gaming content.”
No price or release date have been announced for the Ataribox though the company said “lots more information and status updates” will come as development progresses.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
