Overview

  • Play Acclaim will stream on September 10 at 11:30 a.m. PT / 2:30 p.m. ET on the company’s official YouTube channel.
  • The presentation is billed to include new reveals, exclusive content, and a first look at the publisher’s upcoming lineup.
  • CEO Alex Josef says the reboot aims to channel the brand’s legacy into new projects rather than simply revisiting the past.
