Missile Command is back—but not how you remember it. Atari, along with Mighty Yell and 13AM Games, is completely reimagining the 1980 arcade hit as a turn-based strategy game. Missile Command Delta is coming to PS5, Switch, and PC (Steam) in 2025, and it’s bringing a mix of tactical gameplay, puzzle-solving, and Cold War paranoia.
A classic reborn with a new twist
Instead of the frantic, reflex-driven action of the original, Missile Command Delta is all about careful planning and strategic choices. Every move counts—miscalculate, and entire cities could be wiped out.
“At its core, it still has the tension and suspense of the arcade classic,” said Ethan Stearns, Atari’s VP of games. “But now, every decision carries weight. One wrong move, and it could all go downhill fast.”
A Cold War bunker full of secrets
Missile Command Delta takes place in an abandoned military facility, packed with mysterious documents, locked doors, and Cold War-era computers. As you fend off missile strikes, you’ll also be exploring, piecing together clues, and trying to figure out what’s really going on.
Who’s launching these attacks? Are you actually defending cities, or is something else at play? The story is built like a mystery thriller, with plenty of twists, hidden details, and puzzles to solve.
What to expect from Missile Command Delta
- Turn-based strategy – Carefully plan each move and use missile chains to take out multiple threats.
- Resource management – Every shot counts. Use the right missile for the right job, or risk running out when you need them most.
- Mystery-driven gameplay – Read classified documents, unlock new areas, and uncover the truth.
- Retro-futuristic atmosphere – Dusty control panels, old-school supercomputers, and the eerie tension of a long-abandoned bunker.
If you love strategy games, puzzles, or Cold War conspiracies, this one’s worth keeping an eye on. Missile Command Delta launches in 2025—and something tells us this fight is bigger than just missiles.
