During the pre-show presentation for The Game Awards 2024, a world premiere trailer for Shadow Labyrinth appeared. While there isn’t a lot of information on the game as of yet, it seems to be an alternate and edgy take on a Pac-Man Metroidvania.
Here is the trailer for Shadow Labyrinth:
The trailer shows the playable character emerging from a pod while a Pac-Man like creature follows them around. It’s a Metroidvania in which you defeat enemies and bosses, as well as navigate in a side scroller environment. The goal is to survive the maze, as well as eat. In the trailer, we see the Pac-Man follower enter the player character’s body and consume enemies.
Most of the recent Pac-Man announcements had to do with merchandise, rather than a new game. For example, there are four new Casio watches available in Japan. Four appeared in this collection. Two were based on the actual arcade cabinets, while others had a more poppy aesthetic.
More information on Shadow Labyrinth will appear in the future. For now, we only know that it’ll come out some time in 2025 for the PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam.
