Bandai Namco and Krispy Kreme are teaming up to release new doughnuts inspired by the prolific PAC-MAN franchise. The new Krispy Kreme x PAC-MAN Collection of doughnuts are available at participating U.S. shops and for pick-up and delivery via Krispy Kreme’s app and website individually and by the dozen.
The collection includes the yellow buttercreme-flavored PAC-MAN Party Doughnut, the unglazed and chocolate Kreme-filled TEAM GHOST Doughnut, and the unglazed and strawberry Kreme-filled Strawberry Power Berry Doughnut. 45,000 free Original Glazed Doughnuts will also be given away until May 18 during Hot Light hours (7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.). Reaching a “high score” unlocks the return of the popular Strawberry Glazed Doughnut.
Through May 14, Doughnut Dots will be “Pac-Dots,” and guests can earn a free 10-count of Dots with purchase of any dozen doughnuts at regular price. In addition, Original Glazed doughnuts will just be 25 cents with the purchase of any regular priced dozen on PAC-MAN Day (May 22).
The PAC-MAN franchise is continuing strong in 2025 with the release of Shadow Labyrinth, a new 2D action platformer with an alternate take on the titular character Puck. The game will launch on July 18 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. A Digital Deluxe Edition of Shadow Labyrinth will be available on all platforms featuring a digital artbook and soundtrack, and digital pre-orders are going live with special bonuses.
Lastly, Bandai Namco is celebrating the 45th anniversary of PAC-MAN with a year-long campaign full of announcements, collaborations, and much more. PAC-MAN has a special display at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle until June 4. The Great Park Gallery in Irvine, California will then host a PAC-MAN exhibition from May 18 to September 28.
