Capping off a landmark year that celebrated the company’s triumphant return to the video game industry, Acclaim is closing out the season with something special under the tree. Today, the iconic publisher unveiled a brand-new holiday showcase, delivering a tantalizing glimpse of its upcoming Q1 2026 lineup.
A gift for gamers of all tastes, the video offers a stocking full of diverse experiences heading to consoles and PC in the months ahead. Fans can take it to the 8-bit court in the backboard-breaking arcade sports title Basketball Classics, step into the shoes of a weary game dev and descend into the twisting depths of the mind-bending Metroidvania The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest, slice through cosmic horrors in the roguelike Katanaut, and keep the beat while hacking the Grid in the rhythm-based dungeon crawler GRIDBeat!
To share some holiday warmth and thank you for an unforgettable year, Acclaim is giving away a selection of our cozy new hoodies and t-shirts across our social media accounts. Winners will be randomly chosen on Tuesday, December 23, 2025.
This is just the start of what has been an unforgettable year for Acclaim, Inc.
There is plenty more gaming joy to unwrap as we head into an exciting new year AND with our first reveal of our Acclaim website refresh soft launching over the holiday break.
"On behalf of the entire team, we want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Holiday 2025 season," said Marc Anthony Rodriguez, Director of Publishing & Strategic Partnerships at Acclaim, Inc. "Our goal is straightforward. Bring players games with personality, staying power, and a clear creative identity. This is only the first wave of PC and Home Console new classics from Acclaim. With Basketball Classics, The Prisoning, Katanaut, and GRIDBeat!, we highlight the range and ambition we are bringing into 2026. The entire team is ecstatic for players to see what comes next."
