Yesterday, publisher Acclaim came back from the dead and announced that their first “Play Acclaim” Showcase will take place on September 10th at 2:30PM ET/11:30AM PT.
Acclaim is back. Not as a reboot, but a rebirth for the iconic publisher that dominated players’ living rooms for more than two decades. Acclaim today announced the first “Play Acclaim” showcase and released a new teaser video. The Showcase will take place on the official Acclaim YouTube channel on September 10th at 2:30PM ET/11:30AM PT. Coming hot on the heels of last week’s social media reveal, it hints at what’s next for the brand, which saw its long-awaited return on March 4th, 2025. This tantalizing tease offers a fleeting glimpse of Acclaim’s upcoming lineup of titles while celebrating the brand’s unforgettable legacy. Blink and you might miss it. Hidden in the static, behind the glow of CRT screens, are the titles that will lay the foundation for this exciting new chapter for Acclaim.
This isn’t nostalgia for its own sake. It’s something else: a kind of retrofuturenostalgia, paying homage to and embracing the brand’s unmistakable DNA and history while charting a bold new course into the future.
“We’re not here to chase ghosts,” said Alex Josef, CEO of Acclaim. “We’re here to take the energy and chaos that made Acclaim unforgettable and channel it into something new. The old screens are cracking, and what’s coming through is something exciting and different.” “You can’t rewrite the past,” Josef added. “But you can build upon it. This is about owning our story and moving it into a future that feels bold, energetic, and completely fresh.”
