Atari has officially acquired the intellectual property rights to five notable Ubisoft titles: Cold Fear, I Am Alive, Child of Eden, Grow Home, and its sequel Grow Up.

The acquisition, announced via a joint press release on August 26 through Business Wire, marks a significant collaboration between two of the industry’s most recognized names. Atari intends to breathe new life into these titles, aiming to reintroduce them to modern audiences while preserving their original essence.

“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 partnership promises more than just straightforward re-releases. According to the announcement, Atari is exploring ways to enhance the titles through updated formats, additional content, and broader distribution. This effort is part of a wider publishing strategy aimed at extending the life and relevance of iconic game properties in a rapidly changing gaming landscape.

Deborah Papiernik, vice president of New Business at Ubisoft, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the enduring impact of these games. “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,” she said.

Papiernik added, “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.”
