Acclaim has announced the first Play Acclaim showcase, a new broadcast that will bring all the latest details and reveals for the recently reborn publisher.
The new Acclaim showcase will bring “new surprises, exclusive content, and announcements you won’t want to miss,” as well as “your first glimpse of what’s ahead” for the company.
A broadcast date is set for September 10th and you’ll be able to watch it over on the Acclaim YouTube, at 11:30 AM Pacific / 2:30 PM Eastern.
“This tantalizing tease offers a fleeting glimpse of Acclaim’s upcoming lineup of titles while celebrating the brand’s unforgettable legacy,” the announcement teases. “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 not here to chase ghosts,” said Alex Josef, CEO of Acclaim 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 cracking, and what’s coming through is something exciting and different.”
Josef added, “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.”
Here’s a new teaser video for the broadcast:
