During BITSummit in Kyoto, Japan, publisher Acclaim, Inc. announced that Kidbash: Super Legend, the nostalgic roguelike action-platformer developed by Indonesian indie studios Authentic Remixes and Fat Raccoon, will be published by Acclaim and released on Steam and consoles in early 2027.
The announcement was accompanied by an all-new cinematic trailer, offering a first look at Kidbash: Super Legend’s cast and setting, as well as never-before-seen gameplay that highlights the game’s blend of frenetic combat and expansive platforming. Paying homage to the classic adventures of Mega Man and Kirby, the game blends fast-paced action and exploration with deep roguelike progression and a charming claymation-style aesthetic.
“Kidbash grabbed all of our attention, instantly. It feels like somebody uncovered a lost action classic from the PS3/Dreamcast era and gave it a modern 2020’s soul. Authentic Remixes & Fat Raccoon built something with real style, real gameplay, and a ton of personality.” said Marc Anthony Rodriguez, Director of Publishing & Strategic Partnerships at Acclaim, Inc.
Gameplay Features
