Acclaim Brings “Nostalgic Roguelike Action-Platformer” Kidbash To Consoles In 2027
Acclaim has announced Kidbash: Super Legend, a new “nostalgic roguelike action-platformer” developed by Indonesian studios Authentic Remixes and Fat Raccoon. The game is scheduled for an early 2027 release.
The title blends fast-paced action gameplay with exploration and deep roguelike progression mechanics. According to the official announcement, Kidbash pays homage to classic platformers such as Mega Man and Kirby 64, combining the quick reflexes and challenging combat those titles are known for with modern roguelike mechanics that offer varied progression paths and replayability.
The game features a distinctive claymation-style visual aesthetic that complements its nostalgic influences, creating a charming visual presentation designed to evoke retro gaming sensibilities.
Kidbash will release on Steam and Nintendo Switch platforms, including confirmed support for both the original Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. The multi-platform strategy positions the game to reach players across different gaming ecosystems. The announcement comes as part of Acclaim’s broader return to active game publishing, marking the company’s continued effort to establish itself as a publisher of new titles in the contemporary gaming market.
