Atari Expands Portfolio with Acquisition of Five Ubisoft Titles

Atari has secured the intellectual property rights to five notable Ubisoft games, including Cold Fear, I Am Alive, Child of Eden, Grow Home, and its sequel Grow Up, as announced in a joint press release on August 26, 2025. This agreement symbolizes a mutual dedication to providing exceptional gaming experiences while staying true to the original essence of the titles. Atari intends to 'revitalize' these games by making them available on new platforms and through revamped publishing structures. According to Deborah Papiernik, Vice President of New Business at Ubisoft, this move will allow long-time players to relive fond memories while introducing the games to new audiences for the first time. Atari, with its rich gaming heritage and appreciation for these classic titles, is eager to see how they will evolve and resonate with players in innovative, meaningful ways. The company plans to re-release these titles under its publishing label, exploring possibilities for expansion through updated formats, additional content, and broader distribution channels. Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari, expressed enthusiasm for reintroducing these titles while exploring avenues to expand and evolve these franchises, highlighting the shared legacy between Ubisoft and Atari in crafting immersive gaming worlds. This development follows Atari's recent announcement of a $5.2 million deal to acquire Thunderful Group, subject to shareholder approval.
