NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains launched on June 25, 2026, for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam, and Mac. BeXide announced the release on June 11 with a 2,480 yen price and a 10% pre-order discount on the Nintendo eShop through July 8, then opened a 10% launch sale on the eShop and Steam through the same date. The game is a voxel-based 3D puzzle title built on classic Namco arcade properties. Players throw capsules containing voxels onto floating discs and stack them for points, with dedicated stages for Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Xevious, Mappy, and The Tower of Druaga, plus a stage that mixes elements from several of those works. More than 100 voxel types are viewable in a Collection Room, and online rankings let players compare scores worldwide. The dot-style graphics of 1980s arcade titles are rendered in voxels, and music from the classic titles is used.

BeXide put a demo in Steam Next Fest on June 16 alongside Memory of Memorie: A Chill Story, ahead of the Namco puzzle's June 25 launch. The game arrived alongside an interview with Yuichiro Shinozaki, who designed Gil, Kai, and Druaga for The Tower of Druaga in 1983 and discussed Namco's Creative Center, the department that handled corporate identity and advertising rather than game development.

The first major update, Ver1.2.0, arrived on August 25, 2026, adding Score Attack and Voxel Race. Neither versus mode ends in a game over when voxels are dropped, and both can be practiced solo. Score Attack goes to the highest score within a time limit. Voxel Race goes to whoever builds the largest voxel faster, with restarts allowed while keeping the largest voxel. Online play works through Steam Remote Play Together and Nintendo Switch 2 Share Play even when the other player does not own the game. A 20% sale ran with the update through September 6, dropping the price from 2,480 yen to 1,984 yen on Steam, Switch 2, and Switch, and Switch owners can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for 330 yen. BeXide also ran a Collection Room Design Contest on X and a follow-and-repost campaign for Steam download codes.

For Tokyo Game Show 2026, running September 17-21 at Makuhari Messe, the game gets a playable demo of the versus mode at the BeXide booth in Hall 3-N06, while Memory of Memorie: A Chill Story appears only as a video exhibit with a photo spot.

Namco Legendary Mountains Adds Two Versus Modes in Ver1.2.0

BeXide released Ver1.2.0 for the 3D puzzle game NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains on August 25, 2026, adding two versus modes: Score Attack and Voxel Race. In both modes, dropping voxels does not cause a game over, and players can practice alone if no opponent is available. Score Attack awards the win to the player with the most points within a time limit, while Voxel Race tasks players with creating the largest voxel faster than their opponent, with the ability to restart while keeping the largest voxel. The update also enables online play with others via Steam's Remote Play Together and Nintendo Switch 2's Share Play, even if the other player does not own the game. To mark the update, a 20% off sale runs until September 6, dropping the price from 2,480 yen to 1,984 yen on Steam, Switch 2, and Switch. Switch owners can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for 330 yen.
