Pac-Man, everyone’s favorite pill-popping ghostbuster, is turning 30 next year, and Namco Bandai is celebrating it by giving him a new game. The studio hopes the game will be Pac-Man’s comeback, since he’s on the verge of an early mid-life crisis.
Hirokazu Yasuhara, the original co-creator and level designer for Sonic the Hedgehog, will be working on the title. He had hinted back in GDC 2008 that he wanted to make a new character action game, while also mentioning that the Pac-Man genre has great potential for a comeback. Are we in for a new Pac-Man World-type game?
On an unrelated note, do you guys remember the Pac-Man movie that was announced in 2004? Wonder what happened with that.
