PREVIEW

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 bought by Atari. Eurogamer report that the video game publisher has snapped up the rights to the game for a cool $7 million dollars. The deal puts Atari’s name on the game as the official publisher. It is also the sole publisher of all Rollercoaster Tycoon games going forward. Wade Rosen, Atari boss shared in a statement: ”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.” “Exactly what this might mean for the franchise going forward (are we now due a RCT3 remake? a new mobile port?) is unclear, though Rosen mentioned "new opportunities for Atari" and "benefits to the fans of games across the Rollercoaster Tycoon franchise”. Atari, who do already own the rights to most Rollercoaster Tycoon titles are also planning to create new games for the franchise in a bid to bring it to new heights!
