Bandai Namco today announced a partnership with their Vancouver studio and Melbourne’s Hipster Whale that will bring Pac-Man 256 to smartphones and tablets later in the year.
Hipster Whale is, of course, behind the smash hit Crossy Road.
“Pac-Man 256 allows players to enjoy a brand new genre of Pac-Man games; the iconic character created by Namco in 1980 will star in an endless maze chased by the infamous “256 Glitch”! Hipster Whale and Bandai Namco Studios Vancouver have perfectly recaptured creator Iwatani Toru’s original Pac-Man universe for a modern day mobile experience,” Bandai Namco said in a press release.
“Players can expect to encounter plenty of Pac-Dots, Power Pellets, and the notorious ghost ensemble: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. PPac-Man 256 will also feature coins, power-ups and more to spice-up the thrilling pursuit.”
Expect the game on phones and tablets this year.
