Atari announced it has acquired all intellectual property rights to five Ubisoft titles - Cold Fear, I Am Alive, Child of Eden, Grow Home, and Grow Up.
Atari plans to re-release the games under its label on new platforms and with 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 Atari vice president of new business Deborah Papiernik.
"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 chairman and CEO Wade Rosen added, "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. We’re excited to reintroduce these titles while also exploring ways to expand and evolve these franchises."

I feel like this ought to be the way forward with dormant game IP. Instead of sitting on it until going to public domain, sell them off for a few bucks to help fund some of your current projects. Can be a win-win for both sides.
It's what Xbox should do as well. A lot of their dormant IPs would be better off elsewhere, some with Nintendo.
So Ubisoft is selling some of their smaller IPs, and allowing Tencent to manage their big IPs. How long until Ubisoft loses enough control over themselves to be sold out outright?
Interesting. I'd like to see Child of Eden get a PC release.
