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.","why_it_matters":"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.","published_at":"2026-05-18T09:45:50.000Z","source_count":3,"sources":["GAME Watch","4Gamer.net","Denfaminicogamer"],"citations":[{"source":"GAME Watch","title":"3D Puzzle Game 'NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains' Featuring Classic Namco Characters to Launch This Summer, First Playable at BitSummit PUNCH","url":"https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2109417.html"},{"source":"4Gamer.net","title":"3D Puzzle Game 'NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains' Featuring Namco IPs to Launch in Summer 2026; First Playable Demo at BitSummit PUNCH","url":"https://www.4gamer.net/games/007/G100735/20260518019/"},{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","title":"3D puzzle game 'NAMCO LEGENDARY Mountains' inspired by Namco classics launches this summer.
