This is strikingly odd for a number of reasons, not least of which that both Accolade and the Bubsy franchise have been presumed dead since the turn of the millennium.
The name of deceased game developer/publisher Accolade has resurfaced this week in the promotional material for a new game in the similarly moribund Bubsy series: Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, expected to launch later this year on the PC and the PlayStation Network.
It’s tricky to suss out what happened to all of Accolade’s properties the first two Bubsy games on Steam in 2015 as a two-pack (or rather, a Two-Fur).
The current return of Bubsy appears to be the work of Tommo (as publisher), German studio Black Forest Games (Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams) and a revivified Accolade, which now has a website explaining that “Accolade is back!”
