Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac: Martin Sherman Returns as Iconic Voice on Nintendo Switch and More
Pac-Man continues its legacy of captivating players worldwide as Bandai Namco brings Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac to a new generation of platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC.
Releasing on September 26th, 2024, this ambitious remaster revisits one of the most beloved entries in the franchise, keeping long-time fans and newcomers invested by introducing new features, updated graphics, and, notably, the return of renowned voice actor Martin Sherman as Pac-Man.
Pac-Man World 2 originally debuted in 2002, with the titular character largely remaining mute throughout most of the game.
In contrast, its 2005 follow-up, Pac-Man World 3—developed by Blitz Games—saw Martin Sherman lending his voice to Pac-Man for the first time, a move that gave the character fresh personality and depth.
Sherman also voiced Clyde (referred to as Blinky in the game), showcasing his versatility and adding voice-driven charm to the series.
Sherman’s return to the role after nearly two decades was confirmed after the latest Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac announcement video captured attention online.
Fans quickly identified the familiar vocals, hinting at Sherman’s renewed involvement.
In a public message on Instagram, Sherman expressed his gratitude, saying, "A big thank you to Bandai Namco and all the fans for welcoming me back so warmly."
When asked about revisiting the iconic character, Sherman reflected on what Pac-Man represented for him growing up.
"As a kid, there was nothing bigger than Pac-Man," Sherman explained.
He described stepping into the role as entering into a realm of cultural significance for the first time in his career.
According to Sherman, while the pressure to embody such an iconic character can be daunting, he stayed focused on aligning Pac-Man's voice with the gameplay—making the character feel lively, fun, and ever-so-slightly mischievous.
Sherman also shared his appreciation for the outpouring of support from fans and hopes that players enjoy the revitalized title and its enhanced story.
Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac marks a significant return for both the franchise and one of its most memorable voices.
With reimagined visuals, quality-of-life improvements, and Sherman’s engaging performance, Bandai Namco is set to deliver an experience tailored for modern consoles, including the Nintendo Switch and forthcoming Switch 2.
The multi-platform launch ensures fans of all backgrounds can relive or newly discover Pac-Man’s colorful adventures.
As Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac approaches its September 26th release, anticipation continues to build across the gaming community.
Whether you’re a longtime fan eager for nostalgia or a new player experiencing Pac-Man’s world for the first time, the return of Martin Sherman ensures this landmark release is not only faithful to the original but enriched with renewed heart and excitement.
