Los Angeles, CA – 9 SEPTEMBER 2025 – Tomorrow, Acclaim is back. Not as a reboot, but a rebirth for the iconic publisher that dominated players’ living rooms for more than two decades.

Play Acclaim Showcase Teaser:
The teaser offers a 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 here to keep the fire going,” said Alex Josef, CEO of Acclaim. “We’re carrying that same spark forward, the kind that made Acclaim stand out in the first place, but we’re shaping it into something new, something alive, something built for today. We're here to get the party started as masters of new independent games, and we hope everyone joins us to experience the bold, innovative spirit of Acclaim’s next chapter.”
Get ready for the exciting new line-up of games releasing in the coming months. Be sure to follow Acclaim on YouTube: youtube.com/@playacclaim and tune in on September 10th! Time: 2:30 PM EST / 20:30 CEST
