Atari is happy enough about its MMO revenues to go shopping for another one. Publisher En Masse Entertainment announced that Atari will distribute its action MMO, Tera, to retail in North America. The game, which attempts to combine MMO trappings with a timing-based, action-game-style combat system, is expected to be available in America through the new partnership this year.

En Masse's Chris Lee cited Atari's "strong distribution network" and "culturally iconic brand" as reasons Atari was a good fit as distributor; we're guessing it's mostly that first thing.
