Publisher Acclaim restart presentation comes September 10th

It was announced back in March that Acclaim – which declared bankruptcy on September 1, 2004 – has been resurrected, led by CEO Alex Josef, the former founder and CEO of Graffiti Games (Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion).

Now, in a message posted on the resurrected publisher’s X account, it’s been announced that a showcase will take place on September 10 at 11.30am PS / 2.30pm ET / 7.30pm BST.

A youtube video named “Transmission received,” was also shown below.

In a statement, Josef said: “We’re not here to chase ghosts. 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.”

Acclaim published around 300 games over the course of its original run, many of which were based on popular movies and TV shows. Notable hits included its WWF games, The Simpsons: Bart vs the Space Mutants, Terminator 2, Alien 3, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, South Park and the home versions of such Midway series as Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam.

“Join us at [Acclaim’s YouTube channel] as we showcase the titles that will mark the beginning of a bold new era. We’re not just back, we’re levelling up.”
