Atari has acquired the IP rights to five Ubisoft games: Cold Fear, I Am Alive, Child of Eden, Grow Home, and its sequel, Grow Up.
Announced in a joint press release on August 26, 2025 (via Business Wire), the agreement “reflects a shared commitment to delivering high-quality gaming experiences while honoring the original spirit of the titles.”
Atari plans to “reintroduce” these games by “bringing them to new platforms and renewed publishing frameworks.”
“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 at Ubisoft.
“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 plans to re-release these five titles under its own publishing label and to explore the possibilities of expanding their reach through “updated formats, new content, and extended distribution channels.”
“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.”
Last month, Atari announced it had agreed to acquire Thunderful Group in a $5.2 million deal. The subscription agreement is subject to approval by Thunderful’s shareholders, who will vote at an extraordinary general meeting later today.
