Throughout history, the video game industry has grown thanks to the effort and dedication of various creators. Unfortunately, some of them are moving away or their names are losing their relevance in the new age. That’s why it’s surprising that the founder of Atari wants to return to the top by founding a new company.
how to calculate GamesIndustry.biz, Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, became one of the founders and directors of Athena Worlds. It is a video game development and technology company that strives to offer products that allow movie-like video games to be made.
Notably, Athena technology will be used to develop games and original franchises that will come to PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and mobile. At the moment, it is unknown if they plan to license their technology so that other studies can benefit from it.

This means that there is still a long time before we see the first match in the world of Athens. After all, they must first finish the development tools before they can start working on the games.
Keep in mind that Bushnell won’t be the only veteran player in the world of Athena. What happens is that it will also have CEOs from King, Blizzard, Electronic Arts and Konami. It will also feature Emily Amfleet, Unity programmer, and Sandeep Raithatha, Director of Strategy at King.
