On Oct. 27, Atari named Matt Hall, co-founder of Hipster Whale and creator of Crossy Road, to the new role of EVP, Atari Mobile, reporting to chairman and CEO Wade Rosen. The move follows Atari's 2026 purchases of Hipster Whale and Early Morning Studios, and Hall will lead the company's push to release its games on mobile and web alongside PC and console.
