Pity the ghosts in this one
Pac-Manis doing a Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within, everybody.
Thats to say, the Bandai Namco series is doing one of those dark, edgy iterations.
Its called Shadow Labyrinth, its out in 2025, and its a 2D hack-and-slash with gruesome monster designs.
But none so gruesome as Pac-Man, who can transform into a huge champing black hole.
Wakkawakkawakkawould you play this?
You dont seem to control Pac-Man in Shadow Labyrinth.
You play a lanky human warrior instead, with Pac-Man floating along behind like a Chinese lantern.
I can think of no more dreadful way to die than to be eaten by Pac-Man.
He doesnt even chew.
Some blurb from the developers: As Swordsman No.
It’s definitely teetering on the edge of unintentional comedy, though.
Do Kirby next, games industry, he’s appalling.
The Geoffening has begun!
