Lucky Luke Retro Collection Arrives in 2027
Lucky Luke celebrates his eightieth birthday with a return to the gaming world as Atari announced Lucky Luke: The Lonesome Cowboy Collection, Stripspeciaalzaak reported. The compilation brings back six classic titles from the 1990s and early 2000s.
French publisher Infogrames originally released the adventures between 1996 and 2001 across the Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, and Game Boy Advance. Atari now operates using the Infogrames brand name, tying the new release directly to its publishing past.

It continues with Lucky Luke: On the Daltons Trail for PlayStation in 1998, followed by Lucky Luke: Desperado Train for Game Boy Color in 2000. The collection finishes with Lucky Luke: Western Fever on PlayStation and Lucky Luke: Wanted! on Game Boy Advance, both released in 2001.
