NeoSprint, Atari's reboot of its Sprint racing series, comes to PC and consoles this summer
The last game in the top-down racing series was released in 1989
Atari has announced that NeoSprint, its reboot of classic racing series Sprint, is coming to PC and consoles.
NeoSprint was originally released on the company's modern Atari VCS console in October 2023, where it's been available as an early access title.
However, the game will now get a full launch this summer, with a release set on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC formats.
NeoSprint lets up to eight players race on a variety of circuits, and is played from an overhead viewpoint like the previous games in the series.
Players can also build their own tracks, which they can race on with their friends.
"With NeoSprint, Atari returns to the single-screen racing format first made popular in the 1970s by the Sprint Series arcade machines," Atari said in a statement.
"NeoSprint enhances the single-screen formula with contemporary features, including a rich and colorful 3D isometric presentation, upgradable cars, a track-builder, and the ability to compete against the best track times of players from across the globe."
The first game in the Sprint series was Sprint 2, which was released in arcades in 1976. The 2 in the title referred to the fact that two players could race each other.
Sprint 2 was followed by Sprint 1, Sprint 4 and Sprint 8 (which naturally allowed for one-player, four-player and eight-player races respectively).
In the late '80s the series returned with Super Sprint and Championship Sprint, before a post-apocalyptic spin-off called Badlands was released in 1989.
As such, NeoSprint is considered the first new entry in the Sprint series in 35 years.

GET YOUR PIXEL FIX LIKE IT'S 1986.
The new Atari 7800+ joins the ranks of such timeless design icons as shoulder pads, crop tops, and aviator sunglasses! Inspired by the original '80s design, this scaled-down version fits today's living rooms and connects easily to modern TVs via HDMI. It supports both 2600 and 7800 game cartridges and comes with the new Wireless CX78+ Gamepad, an untethered recreation of the radical controller Atari released with the 7800 in Europe in the '80s. Use its two-button gaming power to journey through Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest, the brand-new cartridge sequel to Crystal Castles.
