PS1’s Pac-Man World is getting a remake this year

If you've been longing for a new Pac-Man game, you'll be pleased to know that Bandai Namco will be remaking PS1's Pac-Man World for PC and consoles. Pac-Man World Re-Pac will modernise the classic game with improved visuals and intuitive gameplay. 

The developer states the remake will be a “modernised classic”, featuring updated visuals and offering the same intuitive gameplay as the original game. The upcoming title will include a campaign, but if you're looking for a more traditional Pac-Man experience, then there is also a Maze Mode, featuring a bunch of 3D mazes. You'll need to finish the campaign to unlock the original Pac-Man though, so you may want to invest at least some time into the main story.

Pac-Man World strays away from the well-known arcade formula that made Pac-Man famous across the globe. Instead, it's more like Super Mario 64, where you play as our yellow friend in a 3D environment. In Pac-Man World Re-Pac, Pac-Man's friends were kidnapped by the infamous ghosts, and only Pac-Man can save them. You'll have to go through six different worlds to get to Ghost Island, where your friends are imprisoned.

Bandai Namco will release Pac-Man World Re-Pac on August 26th for PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Besides the standard edition, there will also be a Chrome Noir Chogokin bundle, which includes the base game, a limited edition Pac-Man Chogokin Chrome Noir figure, and the in-game Chogokin Chrome Noir skin.
