Atari is thrilled to announce today the launch of Akka Arrh onto PC via Steam, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One & Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Atari VCS. From legendary designer Jeff Minter, Akka Arrh, once believed only to be a rumored prototype, delivers a rhythmically flowing, fast-paced arcade experience directly out of the 80s, wholly revamped for modern hardware.
Tinged with Minter’s sense of humor and prolific graphic style, Akka Arrh is the visionary showcase of his love of psychedelic color and light, combined with his ability to create pure retro-inspired bliss. A frenzied kaleidoscope of neon insanity, Akka Arrh is one of the rarest games of the 80s gaming era but brings back the nostalgic arcade experience with a vengeance.
A mesmerizingly chaotic tube shooter boasting a psychedelic visual explosion of color, Akka Arrh embodies the neon style and “just one more round” mentality of the arcade era perfectly. Blast through swaths of enemy waves while manning the titular akka arrh, a suped-up cannon just begging to be unleashed, and experience not just one of Atari’s rarest games, but one of the rarest games of all time!
Developed by Llamasoft and legendary game designer Jeff Minter, who previously brought the original Tempest and its successor Tempest 4000 to life, Akka Arrh embodies his signature and recognizable light-synth style.
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, Xbox Serioes S|X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch
