Acclaim will host the “Play Acclaim” event on September 10th at 3:30 PM (Brasília time), featuring “new surprises, exclusive content, and unmissable announcements,” announced the recently revived publisher. You can watch it on YouTube.
“We’re not here to chase ghosts,” Acclaim CEO Alex Josef stated in a press release. “We’re here to take the energy and chaos that made Acclaim unforgettable and channel it into something new. The old screens are breaking, and what’s coming is something exciting and different.”
A teaser video offers a glimpse of Acclaim’s upcoming titles while celebrating the brand’s legacy.
The announcement reads: “Blink and you might miss it. Hidden in the static, behind the glow of CRT screens, are the titles that will establish the foundation for this new exciting chapter of Acclaim. This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It’s something more: a kind of retrofuturistic nostalgia that honors and embraces the brand’s unmistakable DNA and history, while charting a bold new course into the future.”
Josef added: “You can’t rewrite the past. But you can build upon it. This is about taking ownership of our history and carrying it into a future that feels bold, energetic, and completely renewed.”
