Bandai Namco and Sega team up for a Pac-Man World 2 Re-PAC x Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds collab

Pac-Man World 2 Re-PAC isn’t even out yet, but that doesn;t matter much since Bandai Namco has announced that it would be partnering up with Sega for some crossover action. And this first one is a biggie… Sonic the Hedgehog.

The open world 3D platformer will invite the Blue Blur himself to the world of Pac-Man World 2, and in turn, the upcoming Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will feature Pac-Man themed content. Pac-Man World 2 Re-PAC will specifically include a Green Hill-inspired “Rolling Around on the Island” level, special costumes for Pac-Man, and some familiar enemies and all that.

See the trailer and a batch of screens showing off the collaboration, and stay tuned for the release of both titles. Even though Pac-Man World 2 Re-PAC is set to launch on September 26th and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on September 25th, the crossover content will not go live until Winter 2025.

Originally released in 2002, PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC puts players in the role of the iconic character, embarking on a journey across PAC-LAND.

For the first time in the PAC-MAN WORLD series PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC also introduces a 2-player couch co-op mode, allowing players to experience the journey across PAC-LAND together.
