SEGA and Bandai Namco, two leading names in the gaming industry, have joined forces to deliver a major crossover event between two of their iconic franchises.

In an official announcement, the companies revealed a collaborative effort that brings together Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2, both available on Nintendo Switch.

This partnership enhances both titles with fresh downloadable content (DLC), celebrating the legacy of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man for fans worldwide. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, a flagship racing title from SEGA, is known for its fast-paced action, vibrant visuals, and beloved characters from the Sonic universe.

On the other hand, Bandai Namco's Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2 revitalizes the classic arcade adventure with modern graphics and gameplay enhancements.

This crossover marks the first time these franchises intersect in such an in-depth capacity, highlighting the enduring popularity of both brands on the Nintendo Switch platform and via the Nintendo eShop. As part of the crossover, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will receive a content update featuring Pac-Man and TEAM GHOST as playable racers, expanding the game's roster with fresh characters from Bandai Namco’s legendary series.

Additionally, players can look forward to racing on a newly designed Pac-Village track, inspired by classic Pac-Man environments.

Cosmetic items tied to the Pac-Man franchise will also be included, allowing further customization for fans eager to blend elements of both worlds into their gameplay experience. Later in the collaboration, Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2 will launch its own DLC featuring Sonic the Hedgehog.

This content will introduce Sonic-themed outfits for Pac-Man, as well as a Green Hill Zone stage—a nod to one of the most recognizable levels from SEGA’s flagship series.

These additions provide fresh incentives for players to revisit both games, while also honoring the storied history of the Sonic and Pac-Man franchises. Representatives from SEGA and Bandai Namco have expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration, noting that the crossover is a testament to the strength of both brands and their commitment to delivering unique experiences to players.

According to the joint statement, the goal is to "bring fans of both iconic characters together and provide memorable moments only possible through creative partnerships." Since its launch, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has consistently received positive attention for its innovative gameplay and ongoing support through new content.

Similarly, Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2 continues to attract nostalgia-driven players and new fans alike, with strong sales and a robust presence on Nintendo Switch. The crossover DLC will be available via the Nintendo eShop, with release dates for each portion announced through official channels.

This initiative not only extends the life cycle of both titles but further solidifies SEGA and Bandai Namco’s leadership in the family-friendly and multiplayer game market on Nintendo hardware.
