During the Game Awards 2024, Bandai Namco has just unveiled Shadow Labyrinth, a 2D action platformer. The game is planned to release for Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
About Shadow Labyrinth
SHADOW LABYRINTH is a broad departure from any previous PAC-MAN game, where players take on the role of another character as protagonist, named Swordsman No. 8. In the game, following the events introduced in the Secret Level animated short, players awaken on an alien planet still ravaged by war and monsters.
The protagonist encounters PUCK, a mysterious yet recognizable figure who teaches them that their aim in this treacherous world is to escape it, and to achieve that they must consume everything that waits in the darkness to survive – and ultimately become the planet’s apex predator.
Players traverse a maze-filled world where enemies and puzzles new and familiar will challenge them at every step. Success comes from mastery of fluid combat and exploration to uncover increasingly powerful abilities and skills and conquering challenging bosses to discover their true purpose.
As players dive deeper into the maze of this mysterious world, they will discover its secrets and learn why PUCK chose them for this task. The game draws even wider inspiration for story and setting from Bandai Namco’s broader library of beloved arcade games.
