Acclaim Showcase Airing September 10th, Promising A Bold New Era

by Rainier on Aug. 26, 2025 @ 9:35 a.m. PDT

Acclaim is back. Not as a reboot, but a rebirth for the iconic publisher that dominated players’ living rooms for more than two decades.

Released today, the new teaser video for the first-ever Play Acclaim showcase, which will take place on the official Acclaim YouTube channel on September 10th. 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 Teaser Trailer offers a first glimpse at 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 hints of just some of the titles that will lay the foundation for this exciting new chapter for Acclaim.

“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.”

This isn’t nostalgia for its own sake. It’s something else: a kind of retrofuture-nostalgia, paying homage to, and embracing the brand’s unmistakable DNA and history while charting a bold new course into the future.

“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.”
