Atari Acquires Five Ubisoft Game IPs for Planned Re-Releases

Atari plans re-releases and potential expansions, with no platforms, scope, or schedule announced.

Overview

  • The deal covers Cold Fear, I Am Alive, Child of Eden, Grow Home, and Grow Up, transferring full intellectual property rights from Ubisoft to Atari.
  • Atari says it will re-release the games under its label and explore new platforms, new content, and broader distribution opportunities.
  • Specifics on whether these projects will be ports, remasters, or remakes have not been disclosed, and no release windows have been provided.
  • Current availability varies, with Cold Fear and I Am Alive still on Steam and Child of Eden effectively limited to Xbox 360 and PS3 for over a decade.
  • The move fits Atari’s broader push to revive legacy titles following acquisitions like Nightdive Studios and Digital Eclipse, alongside its pursuit of a majority stake in Thunderful Group.
