Atari has revived the Infogrames publishing label, which will publish games that fall outside of Atari’s core portfolio of intellectual property, the company announced.
Atari Acquires the Rights to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
04.04.2024 - 19:03 / gamingbolt.com / Wade Rosen
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, one of the most widely beloved classic PC titles, has seen a change in ownership. Developer Frontier Developments has sold the rights to the game to Atari for a sum of $7 million, it’s been announced.
Atari, of course, has a long history with the RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise, having served as the publisher for the vast majority of the series’ instalments, both mainline and otherwise. Where RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 itself is concerned, Atari and Frontier Developments have been involved in some disputes in the past – like the former being sued by the latter due to unpaid royalties – so this should put a neat bow on that rocky relationship.
“As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of RollerCoaster Tycoon with [series creator] Chris Sawyer, I am really pleased that we can unite this important and successful title in the series with the rest of the franchise,” said Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari. ”This is going to create new opportunities for Atari as we continue the great work done by Frontier, and bring benefits to the fans of games across the RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise.”
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 originally released for PC two decades ago, in 2004. In 2020, the game was also ported to the Nintendo Switch.
Atari says it intends to “develop new titles, expand digital and physical distribution, and explore brand and merchandising collaborations as part of a long-term plan” to take the RollerCoaster Tycoon series to “new heights”.

Abigail turns Let the Right One In into a frenetic horror comedy
Vampires are some of our most malleable monsters. They can be lonely kids, lonely teens, misunderstood lovers, mass murderers, leather-clad drifters, regular dudes, or just about anything in between. All that flexibility (and the ability, often, to pass as human) means vampires can also come as a complete surprise to both audiences and the characters in the movies themselves, waiting until more than halfway through a movie before they really sink their teeth in. That special and narrow niche of surprise vampire movies, like From Dusk Till Dawnor A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, is the exact landing point for Abigail, the hilarious new action-horror movie from the directors of Ready or Not.
