Waka waka waka… Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures chomping onto consoles and 3DS this Fall


Pac is back! It’s been a while since Namco Bandai churned out a Pac-Man spin-off, so if you’ve been waiting for such an announcement, today’s your lucky day.  My avatar obviously approves.

Based on the upcoming Disney XD animated series of the same name, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is a mascot-style platformer for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U and 3DS.

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is scheduled for a fall 2013 release. Read on for the announcement with more details.

Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. is thrilled to announce that Pac is back! PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures will be coming to North and Latin American retailers in fall 2013 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, and Wii U system from Nintendo with an exclusive side-scrolling version of the game coming to the Nintendo 3DS fall of 2013. Built upon the timeless and wildly successful PAC-MAN legacy, PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures will boast an entirely new and exciting gaming adventure that is currently under development.

PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures follows the exciting storyline and charming characters from the highly anticipated PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures animated series created and produced by Avi Arad, acclaimed director and founder of Marvel Studios. The animated TV series, based on NAMCO BANDAI Games? classic PAC-MAN property, will begin airing on Disney XD. The game revolves around the vibrant universe of Pac-World, where Pacworlders lived in peace until the mischievous Netherworld ghosts, led by their wicked leader Betrayus, escaped from their ghoulish domain to forcibly take control of Pac-World. Pac-World?s only hope lies in the last surviving yellow Pacworlder, our hero with a voracious appetite.

Not only will PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures feature a revamped PAC-MAN universe, but it will also hearken back to PAC-MAN origins with classic elements such as Ghost encounters. The Ghost-chomping mechanics return from the original PAC-MAN but with exciting powered up variations in PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures, creating an innovative yet familiar gameplay experience.

?The PAC-MAN franchise has touched millions of gamers and non-gamers since its humble beginnings more than 30 years ago,? said Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing and Digital Sales at NAMCO BANDAI Games America. ?With its long-standing history, PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures emerges as a new and reimagined PAC-MAN universe that still retains classic gameplay elements that will appeal to a whole new generation of gamers.?

PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures will be coming to North and Latin America for Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 system, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in fall 2013. Currently there are no plans to release PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures in Japan yet.
