Atari recently announced a launch date for Dreams Uncorporated’s Lunar Lander Beyond: The title launches on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 23. Beyond is a reimagining of the original Lunar Lander arcade game, with new features and details for modern audiences.

According to Atari, the new title is an expansion on the arcade style, with a new storyline and lore. Lunar Lander Beyond has four difficulty tiers (the highest includes permadeath), procedurally generated characters and customizable ships. Players explore five areas of space: Nueva Luna, Mars, Venus, Ganymede and the “realm of Etimus.”

Atari has revived several classic games recently, including Berzerk. The company also recently purchased classic game studio Digital Eclipse. Lunar Lander Beyond is currently available to wishlist and pre-order on various platforms.
