As you can tell from a couple of Pac-Man inspired avatars on Gaming Age, we’re still big fans of Bandai Namco’s most famous arcade icon. Needless to say we’ve been counting the days until the inevitable Pac-Man Championship Edition sequel was revealed/announced… and today’s that day.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 looks to bring the super trippy visuals that we’ve come to love, and the hyper fun gameplay… which appears to now include boss battles.  Officially, the game is scheduled for a September 2016 release, and we can’t wait!
