Acclaim Titles to Live on in Next-gen
By: Avinash Bali   |   Jul 08, 2006
Toronto based publisher, Throwback Entertainment has picked up the rights to a bunch of Acclaim franchises such as Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance, Vexx, Legends of Wrestling, Extreme-G Racing, Re-Volt and Summer Heat Volleyball.

As you may remember, Acclaim (Turok, BMX XXX, Burnout 1, Speed Kings etc) filed for bankruptcy in 2004, closing it's doors for good. Some of the titles they were working on were picked up by other developers, while some were left hanging in limbo.

Not only will the franchises picked up by Throwback Entertainment be revived as sequels, but a lot of them may make the transition to next gen. According to Throwback CEO, Thomas Maduri, "Acclaim Entertainment was responsible for the creation of some wonderful original games, and unfortunately couldn't see them through their lifecycle. We are very pleased to have been afforded the opportunity to take these titles through the next generation, and onwards."

Viva la resurrection.
