""Millions of players have experienced these worlds over the years, and this will open the door for longtime players to revisit those memories while inviting new audiences to discover them for the first time," Ubisoft VP of New Business Deborah Papiernik said in a press statement (via BusinessWire). "Atari has a rich gaming legacy and deep appreciation for these classic titles, and we're excited to see how they'll evolve and connect with players in fresh, meaningful ways.""
"Atari has picked a solid collection of games, as I Am Alive offered a tense survival experience in a post-apocalyptic world, Cold Fear played like The Thing meets Resident Evil, and the Grow games are delightful platformers. Child of Eden is the real draw here, as the 2011 game from Tetris Effect director Tetsuya Mizuguchi was a music-powered rail-shooter that appealed to fans of the developer's previous work on Rez and Lumines."
Atari purchased the IP for Cold Fear, I Am Alive, Grow Home, Grow Up, and Child of Eden from Ubisoft to bring the games to modern platforms. Most of these titles were one-off releases or remained largely on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, limiting console availability. I Am Alive offered tense survival in a post-apocalyptic setting, Cold Fear combined The Thing-like paranoia with survival-horror action, and the Grow series delivered charming platforming. Child of Eden, directed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, provided a music-powered rail-shooter experience that appealed to fans of Rez and Lumines. Recent Atari moves, including stakes in Thunderful and acquisitions of Nightdive Studios and Digital Eclipse, signal a focus on retro revivals and remasters.
