Underrated PS2, PS3 Games Getting Surprise New PS5 Releases

In a surprising move, Ubisoft announced the re-release of its long-forgotten PS2 and PS3 games on “new platforms,” which you can expect to include the PS5. The company entered a “strategic agreement” with Atari to revive five of its dormant IP.

The games in question are Cold Fear (PS2), I Am Alive (PS3), Child of Eden (PS3), Grow Home (PS4), and its sequel Grow Up (PS4).

“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,” Atari’s Deborah Papiernik said in a press release. “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.”

This announcement took many, including us, by surprise. There were rumblings of a spiritual successor to I Am Alive back in August 2024, but we weren’t expecting to see all of these classics again.

For the uninitiated, Cold Fear is a survival horror third-person shooter, I Am Alive is an action adventure survival game, Child of Eden is a musical rail shooter, and Grow Home and Grow Up are platformers.
