New York, NY (April 17, 2025) | Today, publisher Atari and developer Llamasoft announce the official launch of “I, Robot” for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series X|S and PlayStation 4|5. Additionally, the title will be available on Atari VCS in the coming weeks. Developed by the legendary Jeff Minter, this reality-defying reinvention of the classic 1984 Atari arcade shooter of the same name is reimagined in Minter’s signature assault of colors, shapes, and sounds.
In I, Robot, you must BREAK FREE from your creator, take control of the ox-headed robot and outwit the all-seeing eye – AVOID THE EYE at all costs, or else it’s GAME
OVER.
You’ll navigate across a 3D kaleidoscopic visualizer in each of the 55 platforming and arena levels by flipping tiles to open up pathways to escape. Don’t jump while the eye’s watching, or you’ll be ZAPPED away in a flash, but if you do make it across the tiles, you’ll have to race down a tube and BLAST away any enemy shapes that move into your path and try to stop you. Don’t get too comfortable, because Minter periodically mixes things up with arena levels that will ignite your synapses with onslaughts of lethal enemies.
Those who need a break from the battle for freedom can jump into the “UNGAME” to channel their inner Jeff Minter and play around with all the sights and sounds from I, Robot at a leisurely pace with no enemies around.
“With I, Robot, Jeff Minter has once again taken a piece of Atari history and turned it inside out,” said Ethan Sterns, Vice President of Games at Atari. “Fan’s who appreciate Jeff’s knack for completely reinventing Atari arcade cabinets as vibrant, immersive PC and console gaming experiences are in for a treat.”
I, Robot is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series X|S and PlayStation 4|5, and will be available on Atari VCS in the coming weeks.
