Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac<\/a> \u2014 which was announced last week in the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase<\/a> \u2014 looks pretty darn good. And just in case you’ve forgotten what the game looked like on GameCube<\/a> (or PS2), then Bandai Namco has you covered.<\/p>\n

The publisher put out a comparison video for its upcoming remaster of the 2002 platformer, and it’s not until you see the two versions side-by-side that you realise just how much work has been put into the 2025 release.<\/p>\n

It almost looks like an entirely different game, with environments enhanced and sometimes “redrawn” to add more textures and depth. All things modern consoles are much more capable of handling.<\/p>\n

Maybe the biggest glow-up of them all comes from the water level, which looks lovely in Re-Pac. Hey, those original water visuals are still pretty good for 2002, though!<\/p>\n

Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac launches on 26th September 2025. It’s coming to both Switch 1 and Switch 2, but the latter will be a Game-Key Card release.<\/p>\n

Are you looking forward to this remastered version of the game? Chomp away at the comments.<\/p>\n
