Bandai Namco has announced SHADOW LABYRINTH, a PAC-MAN and Namco Arcade inspired game, that serves as a follow up to the Secret Level animated short.
The game is set to release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2025.
Overview:
SHADOW LABYRINTH is a broad departure from any previous PAC-MAN game, where players take on the role of another character as protagonist, named Swordsman No. 8. In the game, following the events introduced in the Secret Level animated short, players awaken on an alien planet still ravaged by war and monsters. They quickly encounter PUCK, a mysterious yet recognizable figure who teaches them that their aim in this treacherous world is to escape it – to achieve that they must consume everything that waits in the darkness to survive and ultimately become the planet’s apex predator. Drawing even more inspiration from the source material for this unique game, players traverse a maze-filled world where enemies and puzzles new and familiar will challenge them at every step. Success comes from mastery of fluid combat and exploration to uncover increasingly powerful abilities and skills and conquering challenging bosses on to discover their true purpose.
As players progress through SHADOW LABYRINTH and dive deeper into the maze of this mysterious world, they will discover its secrets and learn why PUCK chose them for this task. The game draws even wider inspiration for story and setting from Bandai Namco’s broader library of beloved arcade games. While there is much more to reveal about this thrilling new adventure, astute fans will find early hints of connections to other iconic games in the reveal trailer.
