Atari is remaking Akka Arrh to play on PC and modern consoles, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and of course the Atari VCS for an early 2023 release.
You’re in rare company if you ever played Akka Arrh, a short-lived and ultra-rare arcade cabinet prototype that Atari released to a small test market in 1982. Now 40 years later, Atari is remaking the game to play on PC and modern consoles, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and of course the Atari VCS for an early 2023 release.
The reason Akka Arrh never graduated from prototype status is because Atari scrapped the game after players found it too difficult. Incidentally, the same trait has become a selling point four decade years later, with FromSoftware receiving acclaim for popular titles like Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Elden Ring , and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
