It’s PAC-MAN Day (May 22nd) and Pac-Man is ready to party! Players are invited to join in the fun with a free gift! A new Birthday Hat costume has been added to the base game, and it’s available now!
Nova’s shop was already chock full of options, but Pac-Man’s new party topper really is a cherry on top of it all!
Chomping like no one else–now with Birthday flavor! Pac-Dots? YUMMY!
Oh! Inky looks surprised! Let's hope he didn't forget it's PAC-MAN Day!
You can even bring your style to Maze mode!
This new Birthday Hat costume will help keep Pac-Man warm in cool places!
It will also keep Pac-Man looking cool in very warm places!
So strike a pose and celebrate PAC-MAN Day with this free Birthday Hat costume, wherever you are!
We hope you enjoy this free costume! And if you've been waiting for a Birthday Hat before buying the game, then today is your day! Happy PAC-MAN Day and Happy PAC-MAY to all the players and PAC-MAN fans the world over!
PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC already had a plethora of costumes, but the Sonic the Hedgehog Collaboration DLC is the only place where you can get the Sonic Collab Costume! This speedy look for the Hungry Hero is the best way to run these loops!
That's not all! Have you collected all the figures in the base game? Well, this paid DLC also includes 20 new Sonic-themed figures to collect in-game and use to decorate Pac-Land. It's a great way for Pac-Man to celebrate his friend Sonic.
The Sonic the Hedgehog Collaboration Set DLC introduces a new area is now available for Pac-Man to explore, with speed! South Pac-Island brings 3 new levels... but because Sonic is here, we might as well call them Acts!
Act 1: Rolling Around on the Island, features plenty of running at Sonic-speeds, loops, and corkscrews! There are bumpers to spring Pac-Man forward and plenty of Badniks to butt bounce!
Act 2: Supersonic Tricky Railroad, features lots of rail-grinding with even more speed and high-stakes floating platform action. It's dangerous up here, so watch your step! Pac-Man's Flutter jump and ledge grabbing skills will surely come in handy!
Act 3: 300 IQ Evil Genius, is a super intense and multi-phased battle against Dr. Eggman, and he's not messing around! Dodge wrecking-iron ball, spinning blades chasing you, and the giant Death Egg Robot! But remember, friends - Pac-Man fears no one! Not even a mad doctor from a faraway land.
Available until 12/4 6:59AM（PST)
A fix for a security vulnerability found in games built with Unity as reported by Unity Technologies on October 3rd, 2025 (Fri).
Please see the official announcement from Unity Technologies for further details.
Long, long ago, an ancient evil was sealed beneath the tree of Pac-Village. Only now can the villagers sleep soundly. And sleep they do!
But the Ghosts sneak in! And not only that, they think they can just nab and play with the Golden Fruit! Oh no! Little do they know, they're about to awaken an ancient evil bent on dominating Pac-Land!
The Ghosts might have bitten off more than they can chew, but for Pac-Man, there's no such thing!
The only way to get to Ghost Island... is to swim there! Thankfully Professor Pac brought us some flippers! Pac-Man's dive has great form, don't you think?
Just look at how beautiful it is beneath the waves!
Uh-oh! Watch out for Puffer fish, Pac-Man!
A well-timed Dolphin Kick might just save you from getting chomped!
Wow! A sunken ship!
And where does this lead to? I hope there are Power Pellets down there!
Electric eels! Steer clear, Pac-Man!
There's so much to see! But maybe don't get too close to the Shark!
Waka-whoa! Swim for it, Pac-Man!
After a bit of swimming, we can use the Pac-Marine to blast through the deep!
After all this swimming, I'm glad to see some snacks down here! ...if you look in the right places!
New to Pac-Village is Nova, who runs a stylish boutique where Pac-Man can select costumes to wear on the adventure. She brings a stylish energy that all the villagers enjoy and keeps Pac-Man returning to try out all the costumes that can be earned by completing Missions!
Clie can be found in one of Pac-Man's favorite places: the arcade! Whenever Pac-Man wants to take a quick break, visit Clie to learn more about the different games that can be played, check out cut scenes, listen to the Jukebox, and see what you'll get from the Gashapon machines!
Pac-Man isn't the only one with a taste for adventure, you'll also bump into Pac-Ranger while exploring Pac-Land. He always has useful tips for Pac-Man, so heed his advice! Pac-Man sure is lucky to have such an experienced reconnaissance expert on his side!
I don't think this is what they meant when they said "hot PAC summer," but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun amidst all this lava! Watch where you Butt Bounce!
Keep a keen eye out for the Metal Pac-Man power-up!
For a short time you can walk in the lava and it will surely help you take out some tough foes too!
Did you know Pac-Man's grip is as strong has his chomp? Neither did I, but we both learned something today!
And boy am I glad he's up for the challenge because climbing and edge-hanging are vital to survival all over Pac-Land!
With every step as a possible foot on the burner, accuracy is gonna be super important to success.
Enhanced camera controls are a big help too!
With smooth and accurate shifting we can help Pac-Man avoid the heat!
And it'll surely help us stay on track!
Wanna kick-flip back and take it easy?
At any time during the adventure, you can shift things to Fairy Mode: making Pac-Man immune to damage and placing fairy blocks in each stage so platforming is a little easier!
A Fairy friend will join Pac-Man in each stage with movements that will hint at where he should go next! Fairy Mode means players of all skill levels can have a blast saving Pac-Land!
There's so much more to show you, but please excuse us for now as we need to work on our global leaderboards high-score! Wait, who put all these Pookas here?
Brrr, it's cold up here! Maybe Pac-Man should have stopped at Nova's shop and brought a costume! It's okay, that won't stop our hungry hero! Let's break the ice, shall we?
Fishy-chompers! Bears! And Rams! Oh my! The wildlife is nearly as unwelcoming as the temperature! Spooky really has done a number on Pac-Land! All the more reason to carry on, Pac-Man!
The ice isn't the only thing we'll hit, these Rams will take a special strategy to handle, just a butt-bounce won't do! Hey, Pac-Man, give these Rams a taste of their own wool and try Rev-rolling them head-on! Pac-Man sure is made of tough stuff!
This is what satis-PAC-tion looks like!
Those aren't giant Dots, Pac-Man - they're avalanches! Watch out!
How did the bears get into those balloons? More importantly how did the bears get bombs!? Pac-Man, quick, kick-flip the bombs to teach that bear a lesson!
Bear on our tail? No problem, but it's always snack time!
Let's put those snacks to good use and get skating! It may be all downhill from here - but that doesn't mean the Ghosts are going to go easy on you! You're the best icy-hot-stunta we know, Pac-Man! We know you can do it!
At any time during the adventure a second player can join the fun as Pac-Drone and help Pac-Man along to complete each stage!
Like Pac-Man, Pac-Drone was made to consume! So, it can absorb items like Dots and Fruit while Pac-Man takes care of other official Pac-Man business. How nice!
Pac-Drone can do more than help collect, it can also help Pac-Man to make short work of nasty baddies by shooting enemies. Pew-pew!
Reclaiming the Golden Fruit doesn't have to be a solo affair, so get your best Pac pal to join the fun!
The content coming to PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC includes 3 new Sonic-themed stages, a Sonic the Hedgehog costume for Pac-Man to wear, and 20 figures based on this collaboration between the Hungry Hero and the Blue Blur.
Inspired by Sonic's classic "Green Hill," the first stage is called "Rolling Around on the Island," and features all of the Sonic trimmings reimagined for the PAC-MAN WORLD style! Pac-Man can rush through this tropical landscape that's packed with Sonic goodness, from the full shuttle loops, to spings, and even some familiar badniks! Only Sonic could lend Pac-Man this kind of intense speed!
Select this Sonic Costume to bring even more Sonic color to your game as you help Pac-Man speed through these courses. He even has Sonic's iconic shoes! Every detail is here and it only adds to an already awesome to adventure!
It takes some serious jumping and Butt Bouncing to get all the way up here, but you also need accuracy! That's where Re-PAC has your back with the new Landing Target. That helpful small circle will appear beneath Pac-Man when he's coming down from a jump and that will help you make sure he's headed exactly where he needs to be. With the Golden Fruit on the line, it's more important now than ever to nail those jumps!
He chomps all the Dots and moves on to the next stage. But sometimes there's more to each stage than initially meets the... mouth. This is where the brand new Missions feature comes into play! Missions give Pac-Man certain conditions to meet in each level and if he can succeed he'll be duely rewarded with figures and more! Pac-Village even has a bulletin board where Pac-Man can check in and get more missions information.
*You can enjoy the "Missions" on each stage as well.
But it looks like Inky has traded up!? Gone is the original Blade-o-Matic, we'll have to contend with Inky's Owl Mecha this time! Who, who will win?
Where the grass is green and the Pac-Bears are grizzly! Be careful, this bear looks like it's really hungry! Good thing that Pac-Man is even hungrier!
Rev rolling right along is more than just a speed boost! Pac-Man can use this technique to gain the advantage against enemies, and move up steep inclines with ease.
We all know he's an all-around super guy, but what happens when you apply that to the Butt Bounce technique? Super Butt Bounce, that's what! Pac-Man can use this evolved technique to reach high locations and stun enemies with ground vibrations! Woooaaah!!
Where does Team Ghost get these wonderful toys!? Clyde is more than happy to invite Pac-Man to play with his upgraded Killer Frog! This mechanical beast will take some well-timed butt bounces and some strategic pattern recognition - skills that are pretty high up on Pac-Man's resume. You don't scare us, Clyde!
Long time PAC fans who adventured with Pac-Man in the 2002 original can rejoice because the flip kick is back and ready. Bust open balloon boxes and attack foes by stylishly kicking and flipping with this athletic aerial move! Is there anything he can't do? We think not!
From Pac-Village itself to its inhabitants and even foes like the Pookas and the RGBs! Everyone is looking fresh and the Ghosts are looking almost as good as Professor Pac's mustache! But don't tell Blinky we said that!
Check out the sheen on Paradise Meadows and the dense mist in the Tree Tops, which is incidentally a great place to show off the impact of Pac-Man's improved jump accuracy!
I don't think he wants to be friends, Pac-Man! Please find all the Golden Fruit and save Pac-Land from this amazingly redesigned but still dastardly Ghost boss!
Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde are never too far behind and are sometimes a few steps ahead–not realizing Pac-Man's always prepared for action. Blinky is the aggressive leader, Inky is a little bashful, Pinky is proudly strategic, and Clyde likes to do his own thing. But this time, they've all agreed to take orders from Spooky to keep the Golden Fruit away from Pac-Man! Let's see them try!
Our Hungry Hero is always ready to chomp into action! And as the reliable protector of Pac-Land–and not to mention quite accustomed to chasing down fruit targets, he's ready to overcome any obstacle to chase down the Ghosts, reclaim the precious Golden Fruit and enjoy some snacks along the way! This time around Pac-Man's got even more moves to keep the Ghosts and other baddies running! One might surmise by viewing his face in the light of danger, this MAN fears nothing... and in-fact eats danger for breakfast!
If the mustache doesn't have you convinced, then the endless fountain of knowledge surely will! The Professor takes pride in his role as the official historian of Pac-Land, passing on stories of the past to help Pac-Man protect its future. Thankfully he hasn't been kidnapped this time, so he'll be around Pac-Village to support Pac-Man's quest to reclaim the Golden Fruit!
Whether it’s your first time here or maybe it’s just been while since your last visit, we have a lot happening!
The arcade now has capsule machines! With many figures to collect, which figure will you get? Don’t forget your coins!
Display your figures on pedestals all over Pac-Village.
A boutique has opened, offering costume options for the hungry hero!
With Pac-Village located at the center of it all, it’s easy to head out directly to the other areas of Pac-Land!
And you might find some changes after defeating each boss, so don’t forget to come back and look around!
Our friends in Pac-Village, as well as the Ghosts, and even Spooky are ready to get chatty! Hear Professor Pac’s wisdom, the playful but menacing intentions of the Ghosts, and more! And you heard right—Martin T. Sherman is lending his voice to Pac-Man!
The finer details are at every turn. Pac-Land hasn’t been simply remastered—it’s been remade! Colors, lighting, and flare that only modern platforms can provide... Pac-Land deserves this level of polish and love!
The arcade has more than 10 different capsule machines to choose from! Some figures are acquired while you’re adventuring across Pac-Land but others may be found right here in the comfort of the village arcade. These machines take coins found across the land, so you’ll need to work for it, but not too hard! Try your luck to see which figures you’ll get and use them to decorate Pac-Village! There are over 250 to discover and collect!
Earned by completing Missions, PAC-MAN can change into a variety of different costumes by visiting Nova at Pac-Village’s new Boutique! We’ve got a plethora of possibilities - over 30 outfits!
By popular demand, adventure is back on the menu!
