Two updates from today: One of the volunteer mods from the Founders VCS Discord says they spoke to the dev making Rift World and it is NOT coming to the VCS, so will be removing that one. Also, there is one that should be added, which is the whatever that has music being made by Megan McDuffee: https://www.atari.com/atari-announces-acclaimed-artist-and-composer-megan-mcduffee-will-score-an-upcoming-series-of-pc-and-console-games/

One more! Chaos Chassis by Tony Barnes, who stated in this very forum it was coming to the VCS: 

 

 

 

YES PLEASE!!! I will absolutely buy this game. It reminds me of Jackal for the 8-bit Nintendo, but with modern graphics... I would absolutely kill for a game like that on the VCS.

Update: Looks like AtariVCS has updated their trailer for Spirit of the Samurai on the AtariVCS YouTube channel, and in the text it states:

The Spirit of the Samurai, the vision of Cartagena-based Digital Mind, is scheduled to launch in December 2021, but backers and Atari VCS owners will have early access to playable demos earlier in the year.

 

So, sounds like sooner rather than later!
