Bandai Namco Entertainment, in partnership with animation studio Cartuna, produced the animated series, which follows PAC-MAN as he leaves PAC-Village for the fast-paced, neon sprawl of NEW PAC-CITY, where everyday life bursts into high-speed, snack-fueled adventures. With Team Ghost always on his tail, PAC-MAN\u2019s boundless optimism is the ultimate power-up. By combining action, high-energy comedy and inventive worldbuilding, the new series honors the franchise\u2019s iconic history while launching PAC-MAN into a bold new chapter of adventures in NEW PAC-CITY and beyond.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pac-Man&#8217;s birthday celebrations will also apparently extend to live events, tournaments, fan events and crossovers (including Fruit Ninja x Pac-Man). Bandai Namco is also giving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/pac-man-world-2-re-pac\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac<\/a> players a new free costume.
