If you’ve never experienced a Pac-Man game before, you’ll be able to play 14 different versions of the game as part of a new collection in 2022.
As Videogamer reports, Namco is set to launch Pac-Man Museum+ next year as a way of offering a curated collection. It’s intended to represent the best Pac-Man games released over the last 42 years and since the original game first appeared in Japanese arcades in 1980.
The games included in the collection are:
- Pac-Man
- Super Pac-Man
- Pac & Pal
- Pac-Land
- Pac-Mania
- Pac-Attack
- Pac-in-Time
- Pac-Man Arrangement Arcade ver.
- Pac-Man Arrangement CS ver.
- Pac-Man Championship Edition
- Pac Motos
- Pac’n Roll Remix
- Pac-Man Battle Royale
- Pac-Man 256
Museum+ will use a 3D arcade setting as an access point for all the titles. There will be a series of missions to play and unlock, which also allow you to earn coins. The coins can be used as credits in the different arcade games, or to purchase items to modify the look of the arcade setting. Hopefully access to the 14 different games isn’t blocked by needing to earn coins first, though.
Namco hasn’t offered a firm release date yet beyond “early 2022,” but the collection will be playable across PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, which also means PS5 and Xbox Series X|S owners should be able to grab it, too.
