It would be nice to see some more IPs liberated from Ubisoft, since they’re not using them anyway.
I don’t trust Atari to not fuck it up. But hey, more surprising things have happened.
Atari owns Nightdive though…
Fr? That makes a lot of sense actually.
The five games that are now owned by Atari are:
- Cold Fear (2005)
- Child of Eden (2011)
- I Am Alive (2012)
- Grow Home (2015)
- Grow Up (2016)
Grow Home was a fun little game.
The sequel ‘Grow Up’ was even better. Great 3D platformer.
I will say I am glad to see that the current Atari CEO is actually trying to do stuff with the brand again. It seemed like it was really dead for a long time. But it’s refreshing to see Atari celebrate it’s long and bumpy history. As well as trying to do new things in the modern gaming environment. I hope they can find some real success. It would be neat to see Atari actually become a big player again.
I was going to say the same thing. I noticed it with the new Busby game, I hope they find a lot of success are are able to bring that retro game design back to the forefront.
As a cautionary tale, I said the same things about Embracer acquiring unused properties and underutilized studios in an attempt to revive more niche series for underserved segments of the market.
