Bandai Namco's upcoming game Shadow Labyrinth reimagines Pac-Man in a 2D action platformer format, featuring a character named Swordsman No. 8 and his companion Puck. Hidden within the darker sci-fi theme are classic Pac-Man maze levels that pull elements from the Championship Edition. The game combines standard Pac-Man gameplay with new mechanics like jumping and ghost boss battles. Initially teased at the Game Awards and through a darker animated short, the game is set to release on July 18 on multiple platforms.
Bandai Namco's Shadow Labyrinth combines traditional Pac-Man gameplay with a 2D action platformer twist, featuring maze levels reminiscent of the Championship Edition series.
The game features Swordsman No. 8 and his Pac-Man shaped guide, Puck, as they navigate an alien world, blending Metroid-inspired elements with classic Pac-Man mechanics.
While maintaining the grim sci-fi aesthetic, Shadow Labyrinth promises unique gameplay features such as jumping and ghost boss battles, enhancing the traditional Pac-Man experience.
The debut announcement at last year's Game Awards hinted at a darker narrative, although the final product remains less gory than the series' earlier animated adaptations.
