Bandai Namco shared a big surprise yesterday during The Game Awards – revealing a new 2D Pac-Man action platformer called Shadow Labyrinth.
Tekkens Katsuhiro Harada is the executive producer and the creators, directors and game designers from series such as Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters, Pac-Man and even Kirby and the Amazing Mirror work on the title.
If you were hoping for a physical Switch edition, you're in luck – with Bandai Namco's standard and “secret edition” already confirmed for in 2025. Here's a look, thanks Physic comes out on 'X':
The Secret Edition includes the base game, a pin set, a double-sided poster, stickers and a key ring. You'll also win some digital goodies including “original arcade sound FX” and a digital art book and soundtrack.
Social media and fan account 'Daily Pac-Man' also pointed out that this game has apparently been in development since 2020, and Amazon's 'Secret Level' episode is apparently intended to be a precursor to this game. You can learn more about it in the original announcement:
