Pac-Man returns for Ghostly Adventures

Namco Bandai have announced a brand new Pac-Man game titled {Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures}. The game is based on the upcoming animated series with the same name:

"The game revolves around the vibrant universe of Pac-World, where Pacworlders lived in peace until the mischievous Netherworld ghosts, led by their wicked leader Betrayus, escaped from their ghoulish domain to forcibly take control of Pac-World. Pac-World's only hope lies in the last surviving yellow Pacworlder, our hero with a voracious appetite."

"As one of the most iconic and popular video game character, PAC-MAN has virtually become the symbol of our company" said Olivier Comte, Senior Vice-President at NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe. "As a wish to renew the PAC-MAN franchise and bring it to the new generation of gamers, we are proud to introduce a brand new concept in the PAC-MAN universe, with PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures".

The game is coming out on PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360 - but not on PC as was first reported. A separate side-scrolling version of the game for Nintendo 3DS is also in development. No word on a release date as of right now.
