Bandai Namco Entertainment and BeXide released a demo for "NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains" on Steam on May 25. The game is a 3D puzzle action title where players stack voxel blocks inspired by classic Namco arcade games such as Pac-Man, Xevious, Dig Dug, Mappy, and The Tower of Druga. Identical capsules stick together and evolve when stacked on a floating disc. The demo includes a main stage that mixes voxels and effects from each of those five titles, accompanied by a "Legendary Medley" soundtrack. It also supports online rankings for global high score competition. The demo is available for Windows and Mac for a limited time, with no specified end date. The full game is scheduled for a summer 2026 release on PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch.
BeXide and Bandai Namco Entertainment have made the demo for "NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains" available on Steam as of May 25. The puzzle game draws on the visual identity of five classic Namco arcade titles: Pac-Man, Xevious, Dig Dug, Mappy, and The Tower of Druga. Players throw capsules containing voxel blocks onto a floating disc; matching capsules stick together and evolve into larger forms. The demo stage recreates dot-style graphics from the 1980s as modern voxels, and the background music is a medley blending themes from those games. Online rankings let players compare scores worldwide. The demo is time-limited, though the exact end date has not been announced. The full version is planned for release in summer 2026 on PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch.
