“It is an absolute honor and pleasure to lead the charge to bring acclaim to the foreground of the game industry”said Alex Josef in a press release, before adding: “We are fortunate to have an extremely talented team and have already signed incredible independent titles, which we will reveal soon.”
“For more than three decades, I have had the privilege of being part of the universes of wrestling and video games, and I am now delighted to be a partner of the Aclaim rebirth, an emblematic editor known for having released some of the most legendary games of the 80s and 90s”said Jarrett. “Since my beginnings in the successful 16 -bit 16 -bit titles on WWF until my experience in the creation of the TNA Wrestling series, which gave birth to the first video game wrestler to become a full -time member of the Rosred Circle Rosred Circle, I could see with my own eyes the type of impact that big games can have on players and fans. Relaxing Acclaim is an opportunity to transmit the same degree of passion and to a new generation, and I am delighted to participate. “
Acclaim’s growth strategy is also supported by Phil Toronto, partner of Vaynerfund, and Eric Vogel, Jet Management partner, whose investment and management expertise will contribute to “Promote an environment conducive to the education of independent developers and long -term success”. It remains to be seen now what the historic IPs are that the new acclaim intends to return to the front of the stage, Mortal Kombat being now a property of Warner Bros Games, Burnout belongs to Electronic Arts, while the next Turok Origins is managed by Saber Interactive (Warhammer Space Marine 2) and Universal. Extreme G can therefore be a good track.
