Acclaim Entertainment reborn as indie game publisher focused on original IP


Acclaim Entertainment, the legendary company published titles like Mortal Kombat in the 1980s and 1990s, is back as an indie game publisher.

After more than two decades, a team of industry veterans has united to bring back one of gaming’s most iconic brands to publish original intellectual properties, said Alex Josef, CEO of the new Los Angeles company, in an interview with GamesBeat. Acclaim will provide much-needed resources such as funding, marketing and PR support, giving independent studios the opportunity to bring their creative visions to a broad audience. Two-time Hall of Fame wrestler Jeff Jarrett, with over three decades of experience in the sports entertainment and video game industries, underscores how this wealth of expertise will shape the future of Acclaim.
