Atari Secures Rights to Five Ubisoft IPs, Including an Underrated Post-Apocalyptic Gem

It’s been announced that Atari has partnered strategically with Ubisoft to breathe new life into a group of five overlooked video games. This agreement was finalized not long ago, and it’s been confirmed that Atari will reintroduce these games through their newly resurrected publishing division, which they brought back in April 2024.

The five games now owned by Atari will likely provide a nostalgia hit for Ubisoft fans.

What Ubisoft Games Does Atari Own?

Atari has secured the IP rights for five Ubisoft games:

  • Cold Fear (2005)
  • I Am Alive (2012)
  • Child of Eden (2011)
  • Grow Home (2015)
  • Grow Up (2016)

I’m really looking forward to “I Am Alive,” a 2012 hard-to-spot post-apocalyptic survival game, mainly developed by Ubisoft Shanghai and Darkworks Studio, known for their work on “Cold Fear.” Unfortunately, Darkworks had to close down in 2011.

Although I Am Alive didn’t win any awards, it provided players with an immersive view of a fractured world through a moral filter. The development of this game spanned an impressive seven years, and upon its completion, it offered limited playtime of only a few hours on a digital-only platform.

I’ve consistently been looking forward to a sequel for I Am Alive, a game that I believe has been unfairly overlooked. Here’s a trailer for this

I’ve always been excited about a follow-up to I Am Alive, a game that I think deserves more recognition. Here’s a trailer for the game:

Or even simpler:
I’ve long been hoping for a sequel to I Am Alive, which I believe is an undervalued game. Check out this trailer:

In a statement on the new IP deal, Ubisoft’s Deborah Papiernik, VP of New Business, said:

For quite some time, countless gamers have explored these virtual realms, and now, it provides an opportunity for veteran players to relive their past experiences while also enticing fresh participants to uncover these worlds for the initial time.

Atari boasts a storied history in the world of gaming and holds a deep affection for its timeless classics. We’re eagerly looking forward to witnessing their transformation and connecting with gamers in innovative, impactful manners.

Echoing the sentiment was Wade Rosen, CEO of Atari:

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve always admired the unique ability of Ubisoft and Atari to weave captivating virtual realms that truly capture my heart. Their games, spanning across generations, aren’t just about the gameplay, but the emotional connection they forge. They make me feel a part of something special, something that lingers long after the last level is conquered.

We’re thrilled to bring back these series and are looking forward to finding new methods for broadening and advancing these brands.
