As part of its earnings release for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, Atari today issued a clear release schedule for the remaining half of 2004. The schedule clears up release dates for a few notable titles, particularly the newly-announced Unreal Tournament 2004 Editor's Choice Edition, which will be arriving before the end of September.
The complete listing is as follows:
Second Quarter (July-September)
Asterix and Obelix (PS2)
Backyard Skater (PC)
Deer Hunter 2005 (PC)
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone (PS2)
Shadow Ops: Red Mercury (PC)
Terminator 3: Redemption (PS2, Xbox, GC)
Test Drive: Eve of Destruction (PS2, Xbox)
Unreal Tournament 2004 Editor's Choice Edition (PC)
Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament (PS2)
Zoids: Battle Legends (GC)
Zoids: Legacy (GBA)
Third Quarter (October-December)
Axis & Allies (PC)
Backyard Basketball (GBA)
Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 (PS2)
Dragon Ball Z Buu's Fury (GBA)
Duel Masters Cobalt (PS2)
Duel Masters 2: Kaijudo Showdown (GBA)
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone (Xbox, PC)
Godzilla: Save the Earth (PS2, Xbox)
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (PC)
Sid Meier's Pirates! (PC)
Yu Yu Hakushi: Tournament Tactics (GBA)
In the fourth quarter, January through March of 2005, Atari's release stated that "revenue will be driven by releases from both the lucrative Dragon Ball Z and Dungeons & Dragons franchises," but it doesn't specify whether it's referring to new releases from those franchises or continuing sales from earlier releases.
Atari's revenue and net income dropped in the first quarter compared to the same quarter last year. The first quarter of fiscal 2004 showed a spike in earnings due to the release of Enter the Matrix, which couldn't be matched by this June's DRIV3R. Revenue fell from $151.4 million to $110.3 million, and net income fell from $23.8 million to $12.1 million
Atari's announcement avoided offering specific sales figures for the latest car-chase adventure from Reflections, but it did note that it had sold through approximately 50% of 2.5 million units shipped worldwide.
