Supersocial and Bandai Namco Entertainment America are launching an interactive Pac-Man Simulator game on the Roblox platform.
Launched on July 30, the new Pac-Man Simulator gaming experience is an officially licensed adaptation of the original Pac-Man video game.
The interactive Pac-Man experience puts Roblox users into a 3D game world where they must work as a team to consume fortifying dots, collect official Pac-Man skins and challenge Ghosts so that they can unlock new areas and earn exclusive in-game rewards.
Supersocial and Bandai Namco plan to expand on the core Pac-Man Simulator experience in the coming months with additional content and new gameplay features.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Supersocial to debut Pac-Man on Roblox, bringing an enduring video game icon who crosses cultural and generational boundaries to an immersive platform that reaches people of all types around the world,” said Bandai Namco Entertainment America SVP, Karim Farghaly. “With our continued focus on cultivating community and building fan connections, Pac-Man Simulator offers an interactive gaming experience where players new and old can come together and immerse themselves into the world of Pac-Man.”
Supersocial is an indie game development company that specializes in creating interactive content and experiences for social gaming and metaverse platforms such as Roblox.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Bandai Namco to bring the iconic Pac-Man franchise to Roblox,” said Supersocial CEO, Yon Raz-Fridman. “This endeavor is about celebrating the ubiquity and accessibility of Pac-Man to champion connections across generations. The experience serves as a conduit for parents, who often played Pac-Man in arcades, to join their families in the immersive world of Roblox,” added Raz-Fridman. “For more than four decades, Pac-Man has been at the forefront of the gaming industry and we are honored to be a part of its continued legacy.”
Part of the Bandai Namco Group, Bandai Namco Entertainment America is a global game publisher and developer that creates interactive entertainment for gaming consoles, online platforms, mobile devices and PCs.
