It's "earnings season" for publically traded companies and the first game publisher out of the gates to report their official financial numbers is Atari. Today the publisher formerly known as Infogrames announced that they had generated 54.5 million euros in revenues for the quarter that ended on June 30. That's a 30.1 percent raise compared to the same time period a year ago.

Most of that revenue came from the US thanks to sales of the recent Ghostbusters game and also The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Atari's next major new release will be Champions Online, their super hero MMO from developer Cryptic Studios that's due out on September 1. Atari is still saying that Cryptic's other announced MMO, Star Trek Online, is due for release in early 2010.
