Description

Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially announced the return of a beloved classic with the upcoming release of Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.

Scheduled to launch worldwide at both retail and on the Nintendo eShop on September 26, 2025, this modern remake brings new life to the iconic 3D platformer that originally captivated players in 2002. Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac invites players to accompany Pac-Man on an adventure across the vibrant and diverse landscapes of Pac-Land.

Spanning six distinctive worlds—including meadows, icy peaks, and volcanic terrains—players will once again confront the series' notorious Ghosts and the formidable boss, Spooky.

The original gameplay foundations remain intact, while Bandai Namco Entertainment has implemented a suite of enhancements to cater to both nostalgic fans and new audiences. The remake introduces a complete graphical overhaul, promising visually stunning environments and detailed character models.

For the first time in the series, every character is brought to life with fully-voiced dialogue, deepening the storytelling and adding new layers of personality to Pac-Man’s world.

Gameplay improvements extend to the addition of new collectibles and expanded customization options, providing players with even more ways to personalize their experience. A significant highlight of Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is the inclusion of local co-op multiplayer.

Players can now tackle levels together, marking the debut of two-player cooperative play in this iteration of the franchise. Additionally, Bandai Namco Entertainment has provided an exclusive bonus for dedicated fans: players who already own Pac-Man World Re-Pac, the remake of the original game, will unlock a unique Toc-Man costume for Pac-Man at launch, adding an extra incentive for returning veterans. Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac’s launch on both Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 underscores Bandai Namco’s continuing support for Nintendo hardware and its commitment to revitalizing classic franchises with modern features.

The title’s dual release ensures accessibility for both current Switch owners and those planning to adopt the next-generation console. With its blend of familiar gameplay, new enhancements, and expanded multiplayer functionality, Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac aims to deliver a nostalgic yet contemporary platforming adventure for Nintendo fans.

As September 26, 2025 approaches, anticipation continues to build for the return of Pac-Man’s classic quest on the Nintendo Switch family of systems.
