Atari and Ubisoft announced this week that Atari has officially acquired all IP rights to five Ubisoft games with a view to making them available on new platforms. The deal includes Cold Fear (2005), I Am Alive (2012), Child of Eden (2011), Grow Home (2015), and Grow Up (2016).
Atari plans to re-release these games under their publishing label and explore opportunities to expand their reach through updated formats, new content, and extended distribution channels, the press release shares.
“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 Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari. “We’re excited to reintroduce these titles while also exploring ways to expand and evolve these franchises.”
The publisher didn’t release any other information as to when they plan on putting these games on all new platforms. It will likely be some time until we see this acquisition to show its impact on these titles.
