Pac-Man Museum + is an upcoming compilation title featuring games from the Pac-Man series, being a sequel to the 2014 compilation title Pac-Man Museum. The compilation is developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment and is scheduled to release in May 2022.[1][2][3][4]
Overview[]
Like the previous collection, Pac-Man Museum + features fourteen games from the Pac-Man franchise, ranging from arcade titles to home console/handheld releases. Each game is presented as originally shown, alongside the original games having missions added.
The game features a customizable arcade mode, where the player can control Pac-Man and explore a virtual arcade. The arcade can be customized with decorative objects that can be purchased by spending coins, which are earned by playing games and completing missions. Coins are also used to play arcade games.[1]
