A few companies have closed doors years ago and made comebacks under new management - ColecoVision, Kodak, Polaroid, and many more are on that list. Some have pretty good success while others are still a mystery as to what they are doing.

I hope this new Acclaim is able to make some waves beyond social media.

I am not like many on Facebook thinking they will come out with a new Mortal Kombat game, or a new Simpsons game, both licensed properties.

I do think they will come out of the gate with some smaller titles to ease into gaming. I am not familiar with all the people in the company, just Jeff Jarrett, who is not known for his gaming development skills. Probably will be some puzzle games, maybe some mobile titles, things like that.

What I would think they will be doing is going for indie developers, taking on an old school Electronic Arts vibe of licensing indie games for broader release and onto new platforms. It would make sense for a startup with decent capital to start here. You get ready made games that may need manuals, box art, etc created, have set costs for publishing, and a myriad of distribution methods available today.

Considering so many indie games are developed using engines that are cross platform supportive such as Unity or Unreal Engine, it would be easy to work on ports to modern consoles with minimal investment, or downtime that a wholly original title would require.

If I was them, I would go that route.
