This is the first time BeXide has built a game around a licensed collection of Namco arcade IPs, packaging them as voxel collectibles rather than as characters in a traditional crossover title.

BeXide announced that NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains, a 3D puzzle game using voxel versions of classic Namco arcade characters, will launch in summer 2026. The game is set in a cyberspace virtual world where players throw capsules containing voxels onto floating disks and stack them. Capsules combine and evolve, and chaining them yields higher scores. The game includes a main stage that mixes elements from multiple titles, plus dedicated stages themed after five classic games: Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Xevious, Mappy, and The Tower of Druaga. Over 100 types of voxels can be unlocked by clearing conditions, and collected voxels can be arranged on the main stage or displayed in a Collection Room. Online rankings allow score attack competition with players worldwide. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and Steam (Windows/Mac). A playable demo will be held at BitSummit PUNCH, an indie game festival in Kyoto, from May 22 to 24, 2026. Demo players will receive an original postcard. The price has not been announced.
The game is developed by BeXide, a Tokyo-based studio founded in 1999. The company is best known for the Doko Demo Issho series for PlayStation, which introduced the character Toro. BeXide president Kazunori Naji is listed as the company's head in the press release.
The Steam store page is already live. A promotional video is available on YouTube. The game supports nine languages: Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, German, French, Spanish, and Italian.
The voxel art style is described by the developer as a way to balance nostalgia with a fresh visual experience. Sound effects in the game incorporate what the press release calls "musical essences that evoke memories of the era." The five themed stages each correspond to one of the classic Namco titles: Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Xevious, Mappy, and The Tower of Druaga.
At BitSummit PUNCH, the BeXide booth will be at 3F-B18. The festival runs May 22 to 24, 2026, at Kyoto Sangyo Kaikan Miyako Messe. Demo players will receive an original postcard as a giveaway item.
