20 Years After Its Demise, Publisher ‘Acclaim’ Is Being Resurrected

Will look to “support indie developers and reignite classic franchises”

Image: Nintendo LifeBack in the day, Acclaim Entertainment was a pretty formidable force in the games industry. It has dozens upon dozens of games under its belt, including the first two Burnout titles, the Turok series, NBA Jam, and of course, Mary-Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16 – License to Drive. Ahh, good times.

Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt in September 2004, but now, just over 20 years later, Acclaim is making a comeback.

Re-entering the market in 2025, however, has seemingly required Acclaim to approach its business from a different direction, and will instead primarily provide funding, marketing, and PR support to independent studios looking to break into the industry.
