Atari to Release Barbie Rewind Collection in November
So many game publishers are trying to get their titles out of the shadow of Grand Theft Auto 6, leading to a comically crowded September this year. But Atari isn't blinking, releasing--of all things--a collection of classic Barbie games exactly a week before Rockstar's behemoth.
So many game publishers are trying to get their titles out of the shadow of Grand Theft Auto 6, leading to a comically crowded September this year. But Atari isn't blinking, releasing--of all things--a collection of classic Barbie games exactly a week before Rockstar's behemoth.
Developed by Digital Eclipse, Barbie Rewind is a compilation of 16 Barbie games released between 1991 and 2007. It's set to launch on November 12 on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and both Nintendo Switch platforms. The collection includes the previously unreleased Barbie: Vacation Adventure, adding an element of surprise akin to Star Fox 2's release.
Atari isn't stopping there, also planning to release a remastered version of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee on November 3, 16 days before GTA 6 hits the shelves. While these are more modest releases compared to AAA titles, the timing close to GTA 6's launch is creating some amusing counterprogramming dynamics in the gaming world.
