We're big fans of Digital Eclipse's work, especially the studio's recent approach to documenting the stories of landmark games and their creators, exploring video game history in the medium's native habitat. Atari 50 was its first 'interactive documentary' title to launch, with The Making of Karateka kicking off the 'Gold Master Series' in August 2023 followed by Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story just recently.

Speaking with Wade Rosen, CEO of Atari (who acquired Digital Eclipse late last year), it seems that rather than curtailing licensing opportunities with outside companies, the firm's acquisition may open up doors that were previously closed and streamline negotiations for new projects.

Rosen told us that they'll "hopefully have more great projects that we can share in the near future with partners of [Konami and Capcom's] caliber," and given Digital Eclipse's sterling efforts on collections from hallowed Japanese devs (including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and SNK 40th Anniversary Collection), the possibilities are incredibly exciting.
