Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. today announced Pac-Man World Re-PAC, a remastered and enhanced version of one of the most popular Pac-Man games of all time, is coming to current consoles and PC on August 26, 2022. The original Pac-Man World saw Pac-Man’s debut to the 3D platforming genre. Pac-Man World Re-PAC brings back the classic with HD visual enhancement, gameplay improvements, and new features. The title is slated for release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. Preorders with limited-edition Chrome Noir Pac-Man CHOGOKIN figure plus in-game skin are now available on the game’s official product page at https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/pac-man-world-re-pac.

“Many fans remember when Pac-Man went 3D, adding a whole new dimension to the signature fun game play and whimsical world that he represents, and we’re bringing that experience to this generation of gaming with Pac-Man World Re-PAC,” said Susan Tran, Senior Director, Brand Development for Pac-Man at Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. “Pac-Man World Re-PAC is classic and fun platformer action with a Pac-Man twist, with our hero chomping his way through colorful levels filled with a variety of chills and thrills as he chases the Ghosts to rescue his kidnapped family.”

Pac-Man World Re-PAC takes advantage of current gaming hardware to deliver a HD enhanced full screen version of the original game as well as improvements for more intuitive game play. The game has multiple modes with Quest Mode, a Maze Mode that brings classic Pac-Man game play to 3D mazes, and a complete version of the original game in Original Mode that players can unlock by completing the main game. In the main Quest Mode experience, players use a variety of attacks and abilities, including powerups, as they run, jump, solve puzzles, and of-course chomp their way through six exciting worlds of Ghost Island. Pac-Man World Re-PAC brings back a wonderfully original world of adventure for Pac-Man, where our hero is now chasing the Ghosts to rescue PAC-MOM, PAC-BOY, PAC-SIS, Professor PAC, PAC-BUDDY, and Pooka from their clutches only to discover a new nemesis in the dreaded TOC-MAN.
