We live in a crazy world where PlayStation and Xbox swapped games on the same day, and yet I somehow still could never have predicted this: Atari now owns the rights to five of Ubisoft’s older gaming IPs and intends on reviving them.
As reported on Business Wire, Atari has acquired the rights to the following Ubisoft games:
- Cold Fear (2005) – A survival horror set on a storm-tossed Russian whaler, blending gunplay with claustrophobic ship corridors and mutant nightmares.
- I Am Alive (2012) – A post-apocalyptic survival adventure where you navigate a ruined city, scavenge for supplies, and manage scarce resources.
- Child of Eden (2011) – A trippy, music-driven rail shooter from the creator of Rez, filled with vibrant visuals and rhythmic gameplay.
- Grow Home (2015) – A quirky climbing adventure starring a little robot growing a giant plant to reach his spaceship.
- Grow Up (2016) – The sequel to Grow Home, expanding the climbing and exploration across a whole planet.
“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 Deborah Papiernik, Vice President of New Business. “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.”
Atari apparently plans on re-publishing these games and to “expand their reach through updated formats, new content, and extended distribution channels.”
The wording of “new content” could also imply an intent to create sequels or spinoffs, or it could mean new levels or even just bonus content such as artwork etc.
The exact sum Atari paid for the IP was not disclosed, but it does indicate that the ailing Ubisoft is willing to part with some of its catalogue.
Ubisoft is currently in the middle of trying to save itself after suffering a massive drop in its stock prices. Since 2020, the company has lost a whopping 88% of its value, or 95% if you want to go as far back as its peak value in 2018.
As a direct result, Ubisoft has decided to create a new spin-off company in charge of its most valuable IP such as Assassin’s Creed. The new company will be led by the son of current Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot, which has been a controversial decision to say the least.
