Marking the eightieth anniversary of the comic strip character, Atari announced The Lonesome Cowboy Collection, bringing six classic titles from the 1990s and early 2000s to modern platforms on January 13, 2027, Stripspeciaalzaak reported.
The upcoming bundle gathers six video games originally released between 1996 and 2001 by French publisher Infogrames. Atari now operates Infogrames as a publishing label, using the collection to reconnect with its catalog history. Four of the six included titles originally launched exclusively in Europe, making the upcoming release a first-time regional release for American players.
The collection spans multiple vintage platforms including the Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, and Game Boy Advance. The bundled software consists of Lucky Luke for Game Boy Color from 1996, Lucky Luke for Super Nintendo from 1997, Lucky Luke: On the Daltons Trail for PlayStation from 1998, Lucky Luke: Desperado Train for Game Boy Color from 2000, Lucky Luke: Western Fever for PlayStation from 2001, and Lucky Luke: Wanted! for Game Boy Advance from 2001.
Graphite Lab handled the development alongside support from Implicit Conversions. The games retain their original pixelated aesthetic while introducing modern quality-of-life additions. Players can access save states at any point, apply graphical filters, remap controls, view digital manuals, and unlock achievements.
An interactive museum mode called the Frontier Experience lets players explore western environments from a first-person perspective. This bonus environment includes shooting practice, hidden collectibles, and original character illustrations alongside vintage comic artwork.
Atari will release the compilation on January 13, 2027, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC through Steam.
