The old screens are cracking, and what\u2019s coming through is something exciting and different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The teaser trailer\u2019s blurb adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBlink and you might miss it. Hidden in the static, behind the glow of CRT screens, are the titles that will lay the foundation for this exciting new chapter for Acclaim. This isn\u2019t nostalgia for its own sake. It\u2019s something else: a kind of retrofuturenostalgia, paying homage to and embracing the brand\u2019s unmistakable DNA and history while charting a bold new course into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, we\u2019ve loved many of Acclaim\u2019s games over the years, so we\u2019re excited to see what it\u2019s got cooking.
