Epic Games and Bandai Namco have announced that Pac-Man collaboration content is available now in Fortnite. He is one of many additions to the ongoing gaming-themed season.
A press release outlines the new additions:
Players can now take on menacing Mecha Ghosts, fearsome Mini Bosses based on the original PAC-MAN pixelated design who roam the Fortnite island. Players will encounter Mecha Ghosts across the map, with heightened spawn rates on the newly added PAC-MAN themed islands. When defeated, the Mini-Bosses drop high-tier mythic loot. Players can also unlock the new PAC-MAN Sprite companion based on Blinky from the PAC-MAN: Snack Breaks animated YouTube series. Acquired by following instructions at the in-game Cheat Panel, this gameplay companion grants a special passive ability that cloaks the player and provides invincibility upon taking damage. PAC-MAN-themed Mecha Ghosts and Sprites will be in-game now through October 31, 2026.
From September 19th to 25th, players can grab the limited-time PAC-MAN Sidekick in the Fortnite Item Shop alongside a full collection of arcade cosmetics. The PAC-MAN Sidekick serves as an invincible animated buddy that runs next to player characters during matches and features a Sidekick Emote, authentic arcade music jingles, and sound effects. The Item Shop collection also features the PAC-MAN Back Bling, which cycles from Cherry to Orange to Galaxian as players land eliminations, as well as the PAC-MAN Gloves Pickaxe, new Kicks footwear, and more.
