Shadow Labyrinth ‘Mazes’ trailer

What mazes will you discover in the darkness?

Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for PAC-MAN-based 2D action platformer Shadow Labyrinth revealing the game’s mazes.

Here is an overview of the game, via Bandai Namco:

Developed by Bandai Namco Studios, Shadow Labyrinth blends a modern fast-paced take on the platformer genre with both story and game play nods that draw from Bandai Namco’s arcade legacy. As shown in the latest reveal, a dark vision of the PAC-MAN universe factors large in the game, with PUCK as both guide and a source of powerful—and often familiar—skills and abilities. Taking on the role of a warrior named Swordsman No. 8, and accompanied by PUCK at every turn, players explore this vast world to discover powerful weapons and overcome formidable foes, along the way uncovering terrifying secrets about the planet and its inhabitants.
Throughout the game, Shadow Labyrinth weaves iconic PAC-MAN gameplay into the experience, with twisting corridors, pursuit-style mechanics, nostalgic sights and sounds, and one massive, memorable, and very familiar boss known as the G-HOST Bug. Like the original PAC-MAN, surviving the horrors of this labyrinthine world by consuming everything that stands in their way is the beating heart that will keep players alive.
Shadow Labyrinth features a rich universe and narrative that draws wider inspiration than just PAC-MAN, tapping into Bandai Namco’s broader library of beloved games from the arcade era. Between now and launch, Banda Namco is planning surprise reveals of the many inspirations behind this game, unveiling nods that are sure to evoke nostalgia in longtime gamers and open up the worlds and characters of legendary arcade intellectual properties to a new generation of players.
