We can reveal at this juncture that Acclaim will be filing for bankruptcy on Monday 30th August 2004 under Chapter 11. This news derives from the most credible of sources and will be officially announced in New York on the above stated morning.

And that, as they say, is that. We’ll promise no more updates: as this would appear to be the conclusion of Acclaim’s sorry decadency from publishing giant to ruined failure.

Yeah, use to go pass them a few times a week on the way home from Uni. The Technical Director even emailed me and gave me some advice on getting into the games industry.

We'll find out on Monday, but from my own source at Edge, it looks like they will.

According to Acclaim, they're considering filing for bankruptcy, but it's not certain yet. Just a possibility.
