Bandai Namco Entertainment streamed a new trailer during the Nintendo Direct livestream on Thursday for “Shadow Labyrinth,” a reimagining of its Pac-Man game.
The trailer reveals that the game will be released on July 18 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The video showcases gameplay elements and introduces the mech GAIA.
Bandai Namco Entertainment describes the game:
“As Swordsman No. 8, awoken by a floating yellow orb, PUCK, on a mysterious planet amidst relics of wars past, you are chosen to become the instrument of its will.
To survive you will discover many secrets, consume your enemies, and grow from prey to the apex predator as you embrace your true purpose.”

The game will also be available in a Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes an artbook and soundtrack.
The “Secret Level” adult animated anthology series, developed by the creative team behind “LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS,” previously debuted a Pac-Man episode last December. This episode featured a reimagining similar to “Shadow Labyrinth.”
Bandai Namco Entertainment’s Pac-Man franchise first launched with the original arcade game in 1980. The franchise later inspired the “Pac-World” television anime series, which aired in 2013.
