Once sinking under its financial feet, the new 2.0 version of Infogrames' Atari brand has a pretty ambitious 2009 slate of games include a number of titles (Ghostbusters, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and Codename Panzers: Cold War) that they have picked up from other publishers. However, Atari still has a few properties of their own they plan to revive as well.

According to Eurogamer, Atari/Infogrames president Phil Harrison said during a press conference today that they plan to put out new games in the Baldur's Gate fantasy RPG series. The property was once owned by Interplay and developer BioWare made its first big mark in the game industry by developing the first two acclaimed PC games in the series. Last August, Interplay and Atari settled a long-standing dispute on the ownership of the Dungeons and Dragons PC/video game rights which gave Atari all of Interplay's previous D&D game rights, including the Baldur's Gate license.

Eurogamer reports that Harrison also mentioned the Test Drive racing game franchise as one they plan to revive at some point but like the Baldur's Gate IP it may be a while before we actually see these games in stores with Harrison saying, "You will hear more from these but not today, because we're focused on 2009."
