The original Pac-Man World introduced the iconic gaming character to the realm of 3D on the original PlayStation, and the new remake aims to recreate the feel of the original game with all-new graphics. A new teaser for Pac-Man World: Re-Pac has been released by Bandai Namco, highlighting the remake's appearance vs. the original PlayStation game.
Pac-Man World was released on October 15, 1999, for the original PlayStation, as part of the franchise's 20th anniversary celebrations, and saw Pac-Man embark on a three-dimensional journey to rescue his loved ones and defeat the ghosts of Ghost Island. Over 20 years later, Pac-Man World: Re-Pac reintroduces the tale across modern consoles and PCs.
The latest trailer for Pac-Man World: Re-Pac demonstrates the original Pac-Man World gameplay while maintaining the game's original music. This is in line with the release of Pac-Man Museum+, which includes character redesigns.
Quest Mode, Maze Mode, and Classic Mode are three modes to play in Pac-Man World: Re-Pac. Maze Mode is a collection of 3D mazes for players to navigate and complete. The classic Pac-Man game from 1980 is unlocked in Classic Mode.
With the release of Pac-Man World: Re-Pac, fans of the original game will enjoy an authentic Pac-Man World experience. The modernized remake allows new players to jump right into the game as Pac-Man with vivid graphics that are typical of games from the time.
On the other hand, some may have high expectations for Bandai Namco and Pac-Man. If successful, Pac-Man World: Re-Pac would drive fan interest for more Pac-Man World remakes across all major platforms. Bandai Namco should capitalize on the Pac-Man World series while it's fresh on the minds of players.
Pac-Man World: Re-Pac is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. August 26 is the official release date for Pac-Man World: Re-Pac.
