Atari’s 1979 arcade classic Lunar Lander is being reimagined by Dreams Uncorporated, the studio behind last year’s striking Cris Tales, for release in early 2024.
The original Lunar Lander (perhaps the most famous entry in a sub-genre that can be traced back as far as 1969) was exquisite in its compelling simplicity, requiring players to do nothing more than carefully park their lunar landing module at a fixed point on the Moon’s rugged terrain – by manipulating their craft’s thrusters and controlling its orientation.
Dream Uncorporated’s reimagining, though, which will be known as Lunar Lander: Beyond, is looking to do something a little bit different, taking the moon landing premise of the arcade original and infusing it with a “rich back story” and “deep narrative”. There’s also talk of “simulation” and “precision gravity flier mechanics” in the studio’s announcement.
