Get Ready to Experience Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac!
Bandai Namco has dropped some thrilling news: Pac-Man World 2 is getting the remake treatment! Scheduled for release on September 26, this refreshed title will be available on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS4, and PC.
Originally launched in 2002 on platforms like PS2, GameCube, and Xbox, this remake promises a shiny new look along with expanded levels and a revitalized Pac-Village. Players can also look forward to quality-of-life improvements and—wait for it—voice acting!
What’s New in Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac?
Die-hard fans will be thrilled to know that Martin Sherman returns to voice Pac-Man, a nod to his role in Pac-Man World 3. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! This iteration introduces exciting new abilities for Pac-Man, revamped boss battles, new characters, collectibles, and customizations. Plus, a two-player mode will make cooperation more fun than ever!
The game will be launched in two editions: the Standard Edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition. The latter includes a ‘Collaboration Set’ featuring three collab stages, a unique costume, and 20 collectible figures. Pre-orders also come with exclusive goodies: four Team Ghost costumes and figures, which can be unlocked through gameplay as well.
And if you loved Pac-Man World Re-Pac, here’s a special treat! Players who own the previous game can unlock an exclusive Toc-Man costume in the new release. Talk about a sweet bonus!
A Nostalgic Journey Through Pac-Land
In Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac, players return to the iconic Pac-Land, navigating through six vibrant worlds filled with meadows, icy peaks, and fiery volcanoes. The mission? Face off against the Ghosts and their boss, Spooky, in exhilarating fashion! This title marks another step forward from its predecessor, PS1’s Pac-Man World, which debuted in 1999.
Although the prior remake received generally positive feedback, it wasn’t without its controversies. The absence of Ms. Pac-Man, replaced by ‘Pac-Mom’, stirred some drama, primarily due to ongoing legal disputes regarding Ms. Pac-Man’s character rights.
This fresh remake offers not just nostalgia, but an opportunity for both old fans and new players alike to experience the joy of Pac-Man in a whole new way. Don’t miss out on this upcoming classic reimagining!
