NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains is a voxel-based 3D puzzle game developed by BeXide, themed around five classic Namco arcade titles: Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Xevious, Mappy, and The Tower of Druaga. It launched on June 25, 2026, for PC via Steam, Mac, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Players throw capsules containing voxels onto a floating disc, stacking them to earn points. The game renders 1980s arcade graphics in voxel form and includes over 100 types of voxels, a Collection Room for arranging them, and online rankings for worldwide score competition. The standard price is 2,480 yen, with a 10% launch discount on the eShop and Steam until July 8 reducing it to 2,232 yen.
Pre-launch, BeXide released a demo at Steam Next Fest on June 16, 2026, and held a ranking event offering top demo players a credit spot. The launch was accompanied by an interview with Yuichiro Shinozaki, the original designer of Gil, Kai, and Druaga from The Tower of Druaga, who discussed his work in Namco's Creative Center, a department focused on corporate identity and advertising rather than game development.
The first major update, Ver1.2.0, arrived on August 25, 2026, adding two versus modes: Score Attack, where players compete for the most points within a time limit, and Voxel Race, where players race to build the largest voxel. In both modes, dropping voxels does not cause a game over, and players can practice alone. The update also enables online play with others via Steam Remote Play Together and Nintendo Switch 2's Share Play, even if the other player does not own the game. A 20% off sale ran until September 6, dropping the price to 1,984 yen on Steam, Switch 2, and Switch, with Switch owners able to upgrade to the Switch 2 version for 330 yen. The versus modes were playable at gamescom 2026 and Tokyo Game Show 2026.

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. Additional campaigns include a Collection Room Design Contest on X with daily gacha points, and a follow-and-repost campaign offering Steam download codes to 10 winners. The versus modes will be playable at gamescom 2026 and Tokyo Game Show 2026.
