Get ready to chomp, butt-bounce, and rev-roll your way through a nostalgic adventure, because a classic is back on the menu! PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC is set to bring the beloved 2002 3D platformer back for a new generation of players, and it’s shaping up to be far more than just a simple remaster.
The Story So Far
The mischievous Ghost Gang is at it again. They’ve snuck into Pac-Village, swiped the precious Golden Fruit, and in doing so, have unwittingly freed the all-powerful ghost king, Spooky. It’s up to Pac-Man to embark on a quest across the vibrant landscapes of Pac-Land to retrieve the stolen fruit and put a stop to Spooky’s dastardly plans.
A Modern Makeover
PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC is a full remake of the original, with a complete overhaul of its visuals. From the lush meadows to the treacherous volcanoes and icy peaks, every environment has been rebuilt with modern graphics, enhanced textures, and a higher frame rate. This “glow-up” is evident in comparison trailers, which show just how much work has gone into making this classic look stunning on modern hardware.
New and Improved Gameplay
Beyond the visual improvements, the developers at Now Production have packed the game with new features and quality-of-life improvements. The core platforming gameplay remains, but Pac-Man has some new moves in his arsenal, including the “Flip Kick,” “Super Butt-Bounce,” and even “Ice Skating” and “Snorkelling” for specific levels. These new mechanics promise to add fresh layers to the classic action.
For those who may find the platforming a bit challenging, a new “Fairy Mode” has been introduced. This accessibility option makes the game more beginner-friendly by making certain sections easier and providing a level of invulnerability.
One of the most exciting new additions is a 2-player couch co-op mode. A second player can join the fun by controlling a “Pac-Drone,” which can help Pac-Man by attacking enemies and collecting items. This is the first time a cooperative mode has been included in the PAC-MAN WORLD series, and it’s a great way to experience the adventure with a friend or family member.
More Than Just the Main Quest
The replayability of Re-PAC is also getting a boost. The game will feature a new Time Attack mode for speedrunners to compete on global leaderboards. Players can also unlock new cosmetic customisations for Pac-Man and collect figures by using in-game coins in Gashapon machines. As an extra treat, the game’s arcade mode includes three classic titles: the original PAC-MAN, PAC-ATTACK, and PAC-MANIA.
Coming Soon to a Console Near You
PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC is slated for release on September 26, 2025, and will be available on a wide range of platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Pre-orders are available now, with a Deluxe Edition that includes a “Sonic the Hedgehog” collaboration pack with new stages, a costume, and figures. Owners of the previous remake, PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC, will also be able to unlock a special Toc-Man costume.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the original or a newcomer to the PAC-MAN WORLD series, PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC looks like the perfect way to jump into a fantastic 3D platforming adventure. The adventure is back on the menu, and it’s never looked better.
