Atari and Ubisoft announced that Atari has acquired all intellectual property rights for Ubisoft’s Cold Fear (2005), I Am Alive (2012), Child of Eden (2011), Grow Home (2015), and Grow Up (2016) titles. Atari plans to make these five Ubisoft games available on new platforms.
According to Atari’s press release, Atari aims to “reintroduce iconic creations” and “deliver high-quality gaming experiences” that stays true to the original spirit of the Ubisoft games. Atari will re-release the games under their publishing label and “expand their reach through updated formats, new content, and extended distribution channels.”
“Millions of players have experienced these worlds over the years, and this will open the door for long time players to revisit those memories while inviting new audiences to discover them for the first time,” said New Business vice president Deborah Papiernik in a press release. “Atari has a rich gaming legacy and deep appreciation for these classic titles, we’re excited to see how they’ll evolve and connect with players in fresh, meaningful ways.”
“Ubisoft and Atari both have a legacy of crafting worlds that players can fall in love with — games that resonate with generations of players not just for how they played, but for how they made us feel,” said Atari CEO and chairman Wade Rosen in a press release. “We’re excited to reintroduce these titles while also exploring ways to expand and evolve these franchises.”
