(Pocket-lint) - Atari is finally launching a new console - its first in many years. Formerly called Ataribox during an initial funding stage, it was renamed the Atari VCS - a throwback to the original name of the Atari 2600 from the 70s. Now, Atari has announced a release date and pricing.
The retro-inspired system is set to launch on 15 June 2021. The base-level model in Onyx will cost $299.99. There's also an "All-In" bundle for $399.99 that comes with the Classic Joystick and the Modern Controller. You can get it in either Black Walnut or Onyx colourways. If you choose to purchase each controller separately instead, they'll cost $59.99 apiece, Atari said.
