First-person action survival game I Am Alive is still, well, alive, but apparently it's changed hands. Paris studio Darkworks is no longer involved with the game and publisher Ubisoft will finish it internally.

"In order to respect the new launch date for this ambitious title, and Darkworks having other obligations, we have mutually decided to complete development of I Am Alive at Ubisoft Shanghai, as the two studios have collaborated on aspects of the title over the past year," read an announcement from Ubisoft reposted on Darkworks' website. "The team at Darkworks has respected its contractual obligations on the project and will be a part of the success of the game when it launches."

Much of Ubisoft Shangai's previous experience has been with Tom Clancy games, including EndWar and Splinter Cell Double Agent. I Am Alive, first unveiled at E3 2008, is said to be a late 2009/early 2010 release.
