Atari has confirmed it is making a video games console for the first time in more than 20 years.

The iconic gaming company, known for classic titles such as Pong, released its first home console, the 2600, in 1977.

It went on to launch several generations of consoles before it was overtaken by Nintendo, Sega and Sony, and its last full release was the Atari Jaguar in 1993.

It filed for bankruptcy in 2013, emerging a year later as a company focused largely on mobile and online casino games.
