by theygamesCelebrating 45 Years of ImPACt (get it?), Bandai Namco’s PAC-MAN is celebrating 45 years of chasing GHOSTS, chomping Dots, and influencing gaming and pop culture this year.
Originally released on May 22, 1980, PAC-MAN gained a following as an innovative and fun classic arcade game, quickly rising to pop culture fame and achieving notable brand recognition worldwide.
On that note, this anniversary celebration will include opportunities focused on making and creating an “imPACt,” falling into the gaming, food, lifestyle and community niches.
Some of the highlights include the following:
- A PAC-MAN™ cookbook filled with tasty recipes will be released by Insight Editions later this year.
- A new game is set to launch this year titled SHADOW LABYRINTH™, a 2D action platformer with a genre-twisting alternate take on the PAC-MAN IP
- Sports fans will be excited to see Club América take part in the anniversary celebration by offering a limited number of PAC-MAN-branded soccer jerseys followed by themed stadium events.
- PAC-MAN will also get a special display showcased at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle from April 30 through June 4.
