Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac Announced for Nintendo Switch with September 2025 Release Date

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac Announced for Nintendo Switch with September 2025 Release Date Celebrating more than four decades of gaming history, Bandai Namco has revealed that Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac, a modern remaster of the beloved 3D platformer, will launch for both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 on September 26, 2025.

The announcement was made during the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase held on July 31, 2025, sparking excitement among long-time Pac-Man fans and platformer enthusiasts alike. Pac-Man, one of the world’s most iconic video game characters, first arrived on the scene in 1980 and has since starred in a diverse range of titles across multiple genres and hardware generations.

While the classic maze arcade games remain legendary, the Pac-Man World series stands out for delivering polished 3D platforming adventures during the late PlayStation and Nintendo 64 era. Bandai Namco previously released Pac-Man World Re-Pac for Nintendo Switch in 2022, revitalizing the original title with updated visuals and refined gameplay.

Now, Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac takes the next step by bringing the acclaimed sequel to a new generation, enhanced for today’s audiences and optimized for the eShop. According to a statement released by Bandai Namco, 'Pac-Man World 2 makes its return in a thoroughly modernized and enhanced 3D platforming experience.

Ghosts have invaded Pac-Village and stolen the sacred Golden Fruit, inadvertently unleashing the powerful king of ghosts, Spooky.

It falls to Pac-Man to journey across Pac-Land, retrieve the Golden Fruit, and restore order to his home.' Known for its inventive level design and engaging mechanics, Pac-Man World 2 built a reputation as one of the franchise’s standout titles.

The remaster aims to capture the vibrant charm of the original game while introducing improved graphics, contemporary controls, and performance upgrades tailored to both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.

Re-Pac’s earlier positive reception provides strong momentum for this follow-up: the first remaster was praised for its accessibility, playful visuals, and faithful updates. Bandai Namco’s track record with the Pac-Man franchise is extensive, as the company consistently delivers remasters and new installments that both honor the series’ legacy and embrace current gaming standards.

By confirming a simultaneous launch on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, the publisher is ensuring that a wide audience can experience Pac-Man’s latest adventure, whether through the Nintendo eShop or physical retail versions. With the September 26, 2025 release date locked in, Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is poised to rekindle nostalgia while offering an upgraded journey through Pac-Land for a new era of Nintendo gamers.

Stay tuned for further updates and gameplay reveals as Bandai Namco prepares this classic for its next big debut.
