Acclaim back in the game

You may have believed the once-great Acclaim was now fully defunct, following its demise as a boxed publisher back in 2004 – but you’d have been very wrong.

The publisher has been reborn in the US as a free-to-play online portal, after former Activision CEO Howard Marks bought the brand name, creating new company Acclaim Games.

Acclaim.com advertises itself as ‘the US’s biggest free-to-play American games publisher.

Players purchase in-game items to enhance their game play enjoyment

“The online space is the future of the gaming industry. Most kids today are born on the Internet and want to play socially. Our games are all social and fun to play with friends and meet new people.”
