Bandai Namco just shut down Pac-Man 99 a couple of days ago, yet the company is apparently not quite done with battle royales and its iconic mascot. The company has announced that the formerly Stadia-exclusive game Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle is coming to Nintendo Switch in early 2024. Now dubbed Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs, you can see the game in motion right here:
Here’s a bit about the game from Bandai Namco:
PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE: CHOMP CHAMPS brings a lot of variety and features that make playing its uniquely PAC-MAN take on Battle Royale even more fun. In the game, players must eat their way through multiple interconnected mazes to become the Chomp Champ – a.k.a. the last PAC standing at the end of each match.
Gain the upper hand on other players or turn the tables against Ghosts by utilizing a variety of Power Items which give PAC-MAN shields, enhanced speed and more. Players can also sabotage their competition by using Power Items that help the Ghosts. Not only will they be able to chomp through PAC-MAN’s regular diet of dots and the occasional fruit, but they can also chomp through other player-controlled PAC-MAN characters.
Players will also have the ability to customize their in-game Pac character using a variety of cosmetics for the head, body, and face. While Chomp Champs is a battle royale, it does feature a smaller player count (64) compared to Pac-Man 99. Are you interested in giving this a go on Switch? Tell us below and on social media!
