Atari has acquired the IP for 5 traditional Ubisoft titles to convey them to trendy platforms.
Ubisoft would not fairly have the library of esteemed franchises to take a seat on and do nothing with like Sony, Nintendo, or Capcom do, however apart from Rayman (who is seemingly coming again) and Splinter Cell (which has a remake seemingly in improvement hell), it makes use of loads of its main collection fairly usually. Nevertheless, what Ubisoft does have is a ton of little one-off titles which are simply begging to return (Buck Bumble), and clearly, Atari agreed.
This week, Atari confirmed (by way of BusinessWire) that it had picked up the IP rights for 5 Ubisoft titles as a way to make them out there for contemporary platforms. The video games in query are the nautical survival horror (seven years earlier than Resident Evil did it with Revelations) Chilly Concern, apocalyptic survival recreation I Am Alive, and the underrated platformer duo of Develop Residence and its sequel Develop Up.
Nevertheless, it is the fifth title that is probably the most thrilling, as Tetris Impact and Lumines Come up director Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Baby of Eden has been picked up, which is a musical rail shooter and non secular successor to the traditional Rez. Chilly Concern and I Am Alive are nonetheless out there on Steam, the Develop video games are on Steam and non-Nintendo consoles, however Baby of Eden has been locked to the Xbox 360 and PS3 for over a decade, so attending to expertise this once more is undoubtedly the spotlight.
Atari hasn’t stated far more than the video games are coming again, however Chilly Concern looks as if a recreation that’s begging for a NightDive Studios remaster. It had the unlucky downside of being a Resident Evil-style recreation that was launched two months after Resident Evil 4 got here out as an industry-defining traditional, so perhaps that is its probability to lastly shine.
