A trial launch of a mobile game based on Pac-Man took place
The project is called Pac-Man Bounce. So far, it is available only in the “apple” stores of Canada and Australia.
The date of the world release has not been named. It is expected to take place this year.
The game, judging by the trailer, beats the mechanics of the prototype. The hero runs away from ghosts and collects food. He pushes off the walls, and does not control the movement himself, as in the original game.
The publisher of Pac-Man Bounce is Bandai Namco Corporation. Her Namco division is the author of the original Pac-Man. The developer of the mobile version is Victory Square Games studio.
In addition to Pac-Man Bounce, Bandai Namco will release another project for the popular franchise. It’s called PAC-MAN 256. The corporation is working on it together with the authors of Crossy Road, Hipster Whale studio.
Let’s add that this year the game Pac-Man celebrates its anniversary. It was released in Japan 35 years ago, in 1980. The release of mobile projects is probably timed to a round date.
