Pac-Man is entering into Roblox with a new experience called Pac-Man Simulator. In an exciting collaboration, Supersocial—known for crafting engaging brand experiences in Roblox—has teamed up with Bandai Namco to bring this official Pac-Man venture to life.
Pac-Man Simulator will feature elements familiar to the original arcade game but with a unique Roblox twist. As is typical with Roblox games, players can purchase using Roblox's in-game currency to unlock in-game boosts. Players can also look forward to various skins, collectible pets, and engaging challenges that unlock additional worlds and content.
“This endeavor is about celebrating the ubiquity and accessibility of Pac-Man to champion connections across generations,” said Supersocial CEO Yon Raz-Fridman in a press release. “The experience serves as a conduit for parents, who often played Pac-Man in arcades, to join their families in the immersive world of Roblox.”
