COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Supersocial, a pioneer in
virtual world development, and Bandai Namco Entertainment America
Inc., a leading global publisher and developer known for the
classic franchise PAC-MAN, today announced the launch of "PAC-MAN
Simulator," creating an all-new experience on Roblox based on the
globally beloved video game icon. PAC-MAN Simulator adapts the
revered IP for the first time on Roblox, the global immersive
platform for connection and communication. Supersocial and Bandai
Namco plan to expand on the core experience launched today with new
content and features in the coming months.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Bandai Namco to bring the
iconic PAC-MAN franchise to Roblox. This endeavor is about
celebrating the ubiquity and accessibility of PAC-MAN to champion
connections across generations," said Yon
Raz-Fridman, CEO and Founder of Supersocial. "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.
For more than four decades, PAC-MAN has been at the forefront of
the gaming industry and we are honored to be a part of its
continued legacy."
PAC-MAN Simulator is a testament to Supersocial's ability to
transform brands and iconic content into virtual world experiences
for a new generation of players. As a reimagination of the original
video game, the experience puts Roblox users in a dynamic world
where they cultivate a team in a simulator where they must consume
fortifying dots, collect diverse PAC-MAN skins, and challenge
GHOSTS to unlock new areas and exclusive rewards.
"We're thrilled to partner with Supersocial to debut PAC-MAN on
Roblox, bringing an enduring video game icon who crosses cultural
and generational boundaries to an immersive platform that reaches
people of all types around the world," said Karim Farghaly, Sr. Vice President, Corporate
Development, Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. "With our
continued focus on cultivating community and building fan
connections, PAC-MAN Simulator offers an interactive gaming
