Infogrames is set to swing the axe at the Atari board, as it continues its recovery plans for its games publishing division.

Five directors of the board will be shown the door, leaving the remaining three to be joined by new board members and a 'chief restructuring officer', reports Thompson Financial News.

Last month, Infogrames CEO Patrick Leleu revealed further plans to turn Atari's fortunes around, which included consolidating shares and streamlining distribution.
