Shadow Labyrinth is a Dark Sci-Fi Platformer Take on Pac-Man Coming in 2025

by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia coupled with anticipation upon hearing about Shadow Labyrinth. Growing up, Pac-Man was a staple in my arcade adventures, and the prospect of delving into a darker, more action-packed iteration of that classic game has me practically salivating at the mouth!

Bandai Namco has unveiled a new title called Shadow Labyrinth, which is a dark sci-fi adaptation of the iconic Pac-Man series. Positioned as a “pulse-pounding” and immersive 2D platformer experience, this game draws inspiration from the mysterious ‘Pac-Man Secret Level’ episode on Amazon Prime Video, where you must eat to stay alive in a treacherous alien environment.

In the narrative I’m immersed in, I assume the role of ‘Swordsman No. 8’, a character whose journey continues from the captivating tale depicted in the Secret Level animated short. Here, I come face-to-face with PUCK, an intriguing Pac-Man-like entity who imparts a vital lesson: we must flee our current situation. This escape necessitates devouring everything that hides in the shadows, transforming ourselves into the planet’s supreme predator.

Delve into a realm brimming with labyrinths and brain-teasing puzzles, and hone your skills in dynamic combat encounters. Seek out potent abilities to vanquish formidable bosses when Shadow Labyrinth debuts on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC around the year 2025. Take a peek at the unveiling trailer below.
