Atari have given the first glimpse at it’s mysterious upcoming console; the ‘Ataribox’ which is clearly looking back to the company’s first foray into home-gaming with the wood-panelled Atari 2600.

“Our objective is to create something new, that stays true to our heritage, while appealing to both old and new fans of Atari.”  The new console features ribbed lines, a raised back, and a front panel that can either be glass or wood. Indicator lights glow through these materials, and Atari is including SD card support, a HDMI port, and four USB ports on the Ataribox. Two versions of the Ataribox will be released, one in wood, and one in black / red.
They haven’t said any other details such as price, release date, etc. “We’re not teasing you intentionally.” continues the newsletter “We want to get this right, so we’ve opted to share things step by step as we bring this to life.”
