Atari has announced a return to its classic title Asteroids by way of a sandbox adventure, with the company stating it'll appeal to fans of survival and MMO titles.
According to the official blurb that came alongside the announcement, Outpost "players face the challenges of exploring the asteroid, collecting resources, scavenging for ore, crafting equipment, and expanding their territory as they build highly customized bases - all while forming alliances and fighting off other players in challenging multiplayer gameplay. Recurring showers of smaller asteroids represent a source of wealth and a threat as players shoot down these incoming projectiles to defend their claims and harvest their components."
Asteroids: Outpost is being developed by Salty Games for a PC release.
