00:00Pac-Man is back, but with an insane glow-up that I was not expecting at all.
00:04The Yellow Hero is one of the most iconic video game characters of all time,
00:07and this new game from Bandai Namco takes the franchise literally to a whole new level.
00:11The classic arcade game has been thrown into the Metroidvania genre,
00:15and the result is a hardcore 2D action platformer
00:18that mixes elements from earlier Pac-Man titles and is super dark and gritty.
00:22You play a swordsman who wakes up in a mysterious maze by a yellow orb,
00:25looking suspiciously straight out of a classic Pac-Man game.
00:28This orb is a lot more powerful than he looks at first,
00:31and he can transform into a huge, power-hungry black shadow
00:34that easily devours complete enemies and objects.
00:37The game is called Shadow Labyrinth,
00:38and it's a gorgeous, bold reinvention with a creepy, dark atmosphere and vibrant colors that just pop.
00:44It's brutally difficult with razor-thin parry windows,
00:47unforgiving combat gauntlets, and deadly platforming segments.
00:50Definitely a very interesting concept that might redefine what future Pac-Man titles can be.
00:55Do you like this new approach?
00:56The game is launching on July 17th for every platform.
