Amico’s Most Promising Game Lands on Actual Gaming Systems

Remember the Intellivision Amico? Probably not. This doomed console, announced back in 2018, was supposed to bring affordable family-friendly gaming to the masses. One of its most anticipated exclusives was a flashy new version of the classic arcade game Breakout. Fast forward to 2025, and the Amico is still nowhere to be found. But guess what? That cool-looking Breakout game is finally coming to real platforms you actually own. Meet Breakout Beyond, the game that escaped the Amico’s shadow.

The Rise and Fall of the Amico

Back in 2019, the Intellivision Amico was hyped as the next big thing in family gaming. It promised affordable games and a focus on fun for all ages. One of its standout titles was a revamped Breakout game developed by Choice Provisions, the studio behind the Bit.Trip series. It was easily the most exciting game planned for the console.

But then came delays, mismanagement, COVID-19, and even some NFT drama. The Amico never made it to shelves, leaving its games in limbo. That is, until Atari stepped in.

Atari to the Rescue

In 2024, Atari acquired the Intellivision brand and its games—but not the ill-fated Amico console. Among those games was the much-anticipated Breakout title. Recognizing its potential, Atari decided to bring it to life on platforms people actually use.

On February 4, Atari announced Breakout Beyond, a vibrant and modern take on the classic arcade game. Developed by Choice Provisions, it’s coming to PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and even Atari’s quirky PC-in-a-box console.

What’s Next for Breakout Beyond?

While no release date has been announced yet, Breakout Beyond is shaping up to be a fresh and exciting take on a beloved classic. It’s a reminder that sometimes, good games find a way to escape even the messiest situations. And hey, at least you won’t need to buy an Amico to play it—assuming that console ever actually launches.
