Atari has been steadily building a slate of retro-focused releases throughout 2026, drawing on licensed properties from the 1990s and early 2000s. In June, the company opened pre-orders for the physical edition of Barbie Rewind, a collection of 16 Barbie games spanning the NES to Game Boy Advance eras. The set includes the previously unreleased Barbie Vacation Adventure from 1994 and ships on November 12, with a deluxe edition limited to 2,000 units that includes a Barbie doll wearing an Atari T-shirt.
Earlier in the same week, Atari announced a remaster of the 2002 fighting game Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, developed by Pipeworks. The remaster launches November 3 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2, adding online multiplayer for the first time alongside enhanced visuals and quality-of-life improvements. It features 12 monsters and eight battle locations.
Atari also partnered with Digital Eclipse to revive Toy Story games, announcing two collections for an October 15 release. Toy Story: Retro Roundup! bundles six classic titles across 11 console and handheld versions, while Toy Story 3 Complete Edition remasters the 2011 game with enhanced graphics and previously version-exclusive content.
