Acclaim, the renowned publisher behind classic titles like Turok, Mortal Kombat, and WWF WrestleMania, is making a surprising return after closing its doors in 2004. The revived company aims to focus on indie games and reintroduce classics from its extensive library.
With a new leadership team under CEO Alex Josef, Acclaim plans to leverage its legacy to attract attention in a competitive gaming market. The company aims to provide essential services such as funding and marketing to independent developers, helping them reach wider audiences.
Acclaim’s advisory board features notable figures, including wrestler Jeff Jarrett and various professional athletes and musicians. This diverse group may help the company in its mission to revitalize its brand.
Initially gaining fame in the late 1980s with titles for the NES, Acclaim has published a broad range of games over the years, including the popular puzzler Myst. Recently, several of its games have been re-released, especially on the Nintendo Switch Online platform, with franchises like Turok and Shadow Man seeing new developments.
While specific plans for game reboots remain unclear, Acclaim intends to publish three to four games annually as it re-establishes itself in the gaming industry.
