Atari announced it has acquired the Transport Tycoon IP from creator Chris Sawyer.
"We are honored that Chris has entrusted us with Transport Tycoon and our team is committed to both honoring and advancing his groundbreaking creation," said Atari Chairman and CEO Wade Rosen.
Atari did say it could "potentially develop new titles or content, and explore brand and merchandising collaborations as part of a long-term plan to preserve and expand this classic sim."
Transport Tycoon is a simulation game released in 1994 for DOS, with an expanded version, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, releasing in 1995. The game would later release for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1997, and for iOS and Android in 2013.

I mean it's something but I already don't trust them with RCT at all over the last few releases, not bought them at all due to platforms they are on and no confidence in them anyway, sure the Open projects exist but for new releases from Atari/whatever developer they put it up to for the series nah. Other stuff Atari has done has been fair but in other areas nah don't trust them in the slightest.
This is a great game, wounder what plans Atari have for the title. I just hope they let Open TT be.
One of my all time favourites, though I haven't played it in way too many years - I would love to see remaster of it.
i wonder what kind of sales transport tycoon has
