Atari has announced that they are releasing the new PONG RPG, PONG Quest, on all current major consoles.
Seeing as how PONG was the first commercially successful video game ever, it makes sense that Atari would try to breathe new life into this epic table tennis title. Atari’s new game, PONG Quest, puts an RPG spin the game, hoping to help it reach a wider audience.
PONG paved the way for video games to become the norm in every household, and all gamers owe a great debt of gratitude to this groundbreaking eSports game. Pretty much everything that came after was a direct result of PONG’s success.
About the new title…
Published by Atari and developed by Checkered Ink, PONG Quest is a brand new RPG title that puts you in the role of one of the side-bars used to deflect the “ping-pong” ball. There will be many different ways to play, and lots of customizations, which is something I’d never have expected for a remake of a game like this one.
Explore the world and take on the many different pong paddles that you encounter along the way. Strive to learn new power-ups and become strong enough to save the world of PONG!
