Atari’s much-delayed VCS console is getting blockchain games. A reimagining of the classic Atari 2600 console, the VCS is a $400 retro console featuring more than 100 old games, plus the ability to run current PC games. For blockcnain part they will work with Animoca. As part of the deal, Animoca also gains the right to be the “exclusive provider of blockchain content globally for the Atari VCS console” which will make the VCS, “the world’s first dedicated blockchain gaming game console”.
Animoca Brands will also have non-exclusive distribution rights for two years to sell the Atari VCS console in Asia (excluding Australia and New Zealand).
The total value of the deal is up to $4.5 million, which Animoca will pay to Atari in its shares, although this amount will be recoupable against the royalties Animoca will pay to Atari for using its IP.
Animoca is btw. traded at primarymarkets at the moment:
