Atari and U.K.-based developer Chequered Ink (Spell Worm, Gyro Boss), have reimagined PONG as a humorous role-playing game for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

PONG Quest, sees players controlling young versions of the classic PONG paddles as they traverse various dungeons based on other iconic Atari titles, such as AsteroidsCentipede and more. The game's main quest will feature "RPG-esque battles" that combine classic gameplay with a modern twist. 

PONG as an RPG is something completely unexpected but wonderful in execution,” said Jean-Marcel Nicolai, Atari's Chief Operating Officer. “We are thrilled to bring PONG Quest to life to honor the classic IP and bring the beloved gameplay to a new generation of players and RPG fans. Atari has a rich portfolio of titles, and exploring new ways to breathe new life into those IP yields exciting results.”

In addition to PONG Quest's main story mode, the game will also have online multiplayer for up to three other players, customization options for the player's paddle, and more than 50 PONG ball power-ups that grant unique special abilities. 

PONG Quest will launch this spring on consoles and Steam for the modest price of $14.99.
