Atari Revives Legendary Brick-Breaking Arcade Series with Breakout Beyond on PS5, PS4

Atari has announced yet another retro series to be brought back in modern style. Breakout Beyond revives the classic brick-busting arcade title, and it's coming to PS5 and PS4.

Developed by Choice Provisions, the team behind the Bit.Trip series, Breakout Beyond's main point of difference is its orientation. Instead of playing vertically, the game moves horizontally as you bounce a ball back among the blocks to destroy them.

Rather than clearing every single brick from the screen, you're looking to build up lengthy combos and eventually reach the end goal of each stage.

As your combo grows, the effects and music will grow wilder, and special power-ups can be discovered to give you the upper hand and create even crazier sights and sounds.

The game contains 72 levels, two-player co-op, and an endless mode for those looking to test their skills.

Breakout Beyond is scheduled to arrive later in 2025. Are you looking forward to this flashy arcade title? Tell us in the comments section below.
