It is the 45th anniversary of the legendary PAC-MAN franchise, and Bandai Namco is celebrating in style with a gigantic year-long campaign!

I think most of us have played PAC-MAN at some point in our lives, and it is cool to see such a big celebration event. Some of the gaming highlights include an upcoming game called Shadow Labyrinth that will take an alternate twist on the IP, a PAC-MAN Simulator collaboration between Roblox and Supersocial, and a bunch of PAC-MAN Accessories available for Switch and Xbox platforms.

The anniversary celebration will also include fun opportunities throughout the year, focused on making an impact in gaming, food, lifestyle and community, such as a special display at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle from April 30 to June 4, and a Live Experience event in the UK at Manchester’s Arcade Arena on March 22 for a life sized interactive PAC-MAN maze.

Shadow Labyrinth can be wishlisted on Steam. A year long series of celebration events isn’t something I’ve seen in a long time, and if you are interested in learning more, Bandai Namco has information on their website.
