Bandai Namco celebrates the 35th anniversary of its flagship maze-running arcade game series and mascot, PAC-MAN, which first arrived in Japan on May 22, 1980. To celebrate, Bandai Namco is updating the mobile releases of PAC-MAN and PAC-MAN Lite with a new, classic-inspired user interface, which players can enjoy on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
This is an almost totally new PAC-MAN. Everything has been redesigned to enhance the player’s experience. We have brought a pixel-to-pixel recreation of the classic game with the same difficulty, and we have also introduced new mazes and challenges. We are planning to continue to bring new elements to PAC-MAN and evolve the franchise!”
