At last, that DLC is close to being released. it's coming out on September 26, and it's called "The Wider World of Atari." Atari is too cool to reveal the games that will be included just yet, but we're crossing our fingers for some co-op titles anyway.
We do know that the DLC will include:

A second DLC called "The First Console War" will be released on November 8, along with Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Expanded Edition, which will bundle the game with both DLCs.
