Acclaim, along with Authentic Remixes & Fat Raccoon, Level Up to Bring Kidbash: Super Legend to Steam and Consoles Next Year
BITSummit announcement trailer highlights the nostalgic roguelike action-platformer’s claymation-style characters, diorama-like world and never-before-seen gameplay
Kyoto, Japan — May 22, 2026 — Get ready to rise, rebuild, and rediscover what it means to be a hero. 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.
Awakening in a world of forgotten game characters with no memory of his past, the hero Kidbash embarks on an emotional journey of redemption, training, and discovery.
“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.
“The second we saw the claymation-real “Laika-esque” vibe of the game world, the mash-up weapon combat, and the sheer energy of it all moving together, we knew this game had something special. This is exactly the kind of bold, memorable indie game Acclaim was brought back to champion!”
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 that brings its vibrant characters and vibrant world to life.
The announcement is accompanied by an all-new cinematic trailer, offering a first look at Kidbash: Super Legend’s larger-than-life cast, stunning diorama-esque world, massive bosses, and never-before-seen gameplay that highlights the game’s blend of frenetic combat and expansive platforming.
Here’s what the media are saying about Kidbash: Super Legend:
“One of our favorite games on the showfloor, Kidbash was created in collaboration with Niji Games. Utilizing claymation assets and Mega Man-style run-and-gun gameplay, we hope that Kidbash will fulfil its full potential one day.”
