This new version rebuilds the GameCube-era platformer from the ground up, with updated visuals, smoother controls, and modern features aimed at both new fans and longtime PAC-MAN followers.
The announcement trailer gives a quick look at the updated level design, character models, and some returning enemies. All now polished for a new generation of platforms.
Classic Chomping, Rebuilt for a New Generation
PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC brings back everything that made the original fun, but now it plays and looks way better. You’ll run, bounce, and roll through a bunch of themed worlds, from icy cliffs to creepy forests and underwater caves. There’s still plenty of fruit to collect, secrets to find, and ghosts to avoid.
PAC-MAN’s moves feel smoother this time around. The butt bounce, rev roll, and air flip are all back, and the controls have been updated to match modern systems. The camera’s easier to work with too, so platforming feels a lot less clunky.
The levels follow the same structure as the original, but the visuals are sharper and more detailed. You’ll notice better lighting, cleaner animations, and some extra touches that make each area pop. Boss fights and music tracks return as well, just with a bit more shine.
PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC Launches September 26
Bandai Namco has confirmed that PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC will launch on September 26, 2025. It’s coming to Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam.
This remake follows the same path as PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC, which brought the first game to modern platforms. Now it’s the sequel’s turn, with updated visuals, smoother gameplay, and a few welcome quality-of-life upgrades.
