Shadow Labyrinth is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is part of the Pac-Man series, serving as a re-imagining of the franchise’s core concepts. The player will take on the role of “The Swordsman” while traversing through a large “maze”, fighting against enemies and upgrading their abilities as they progress; initial reactions upon the game’s announcement widely considered it to be a metroidvania game.
The game was initially promoted by the release of the Secret Level episode “Circle”, which serves as an official prequel to the game. Shadow Labyrinth is set to be released on July 18, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
