Acclaim Entertainment, once a giant in the video game industry, is making an unexpected return. Known for classic titles like Turok, NBA Jam, and Mortal Kombat (on consoles), the revived publisher is coming back with a surprising mix of projects—featuring Turnip Boy and wrestling legend Jeff Jarrett.
A Legendary Comeback
Acclaim Entertainment, a household name in the gaming industry of the ’90s and early 2000s, shut down in 2004 after financial struggles. Now, the brand is back under new management, bringing fresh projects to the gaming world. The unexpected revival has sparked excitement and curiosity among gamers, especially with its unusual choice of flagship characters.
Turnip Boy & Jeff Jarrett – An Unlikely Duo
The return of Acclaim is headlined by Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, a chaotic indie title by Snoozy Kazoo, and WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett, who is reportedly involved in a separate project. This combination has left many wondering: what direction is the new Acclaim taking?
While Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is already a highly anticipated sequel following the success of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Jeff Jarrett’s involvement hints at a possible wrestling-related game or multimedia venture. Could Acclaim be dipping its toes back into the wrestling game genre?
What’s Next for Acclaim?
With the gaming industry more competitive than ever, Acclaim’s return raises plenty of questions. Will it focus on nostalgic revivals, indie publishing, or entirely new IPs? More announcements are expected soon, and gamers are eager to see if Acclaim can reclaim its former glory.
One thing is certain—Acclaim is back, and it’s making waves in the gaming world once again. Stay tuned with us for more updates as we learn what’s next for this legendary publisher.
