Acclaimed Acclaim Publishier Making its Return

A legendary video game publisher known for its groundbreaking titles, Acclaim is making its triumphant return with a focus on supporting independent studios and original IP, all while rekindling beloved classics for a new generation.

One of the main priorities of Acclaim’s relaunch is to resurrect and revitalize its beloved portfolio of classic IP that have previously been enjoyed by millions of players. 

Acclaim’s advisory board is made up of top industry leaders and innovators, guiding the organization to ensure these classic franchises evolve for a new generation of gamers. 

Acclaim’s growth strategy will also be supported by key partners Russell Binder at Striker Entertainment, Mark Caplan at Ridge Partners, and Jeff Jarrett at Global Force Entertainment.

Acclaim’s growth strategy will also be further supported by key partners Phil Toronto, Partner at VaynerFund, and Eric Vogel, Partner at JET Management. 

Jeff Jarrett said the following:

“For more than three decades, I’ve had the privilege to have been a part of both the wrestling and gaming universes, and I’m thrilled to now be a partner in the revival of Acclaim, an iconic publisher known for releasing some of the most legendary games of the ‘80s and ‘90s.

From my early involvement with the publisher’s hit 16-bit WWF titles to my experience helping shape the TNA Wrestling series, which spawned the first video game wrestler to become a full-time roster member in the Squared Circle, I’ve seen firsthand the type of impact great games can have on players and fans. 

Resurrecting Acclaim is an opportunity to impart the same degree of passion and love to a new generation, and I’m excited to be involved.”

Helping to spearhead the relaunch and growth of Acclaim as CEO is games industry veteran Alex Josef. 

Josef brings with him more than two decades of experience marketing, previously publishing hundreds of games across PC, console, and mobile.

Alex Josef, CEO, said the following:

“It’s an absolute honor and pleasure to be leading the charge in bringing Acclaim back to the forefront of the games industry

We’re fortunate that we have an extremely talented team and that we’ve already signed some incredible indie titles, which we’ll be revealing soon.”
