Atari and Bandai Namco have come together for a new special collection, as they will debut the new Pac-Man Collection at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. The two companies will release the original Pac-Man titles for Atari's '80s consoles, both individually and as a pack, as part of the game's 45th Anniversary. As well as produce some specialty items, such as the yellow 2600 you see here, colorway joysticks for all of the ghosts, and even a special Gold Edition, only sold at the convention. We have the details about this new retro collab below as they'll be on display the event from July 24-27.

Atari x Pac-Man Collection

 In tribute to the original video game romance that brought Pac-Man to home consoles for the first time on the Atari 2600, the collection is infused with Pac-Man's signature style, including colorful Ghost Joysticks, a vibrant yellow Atari 2600+ console, an all-new Pac-Man game and much more. The Atari and Bandai Namco collaboration features a variety of different offerings for Atari and Pac-Man fans, including:

• Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition: This brand new version of the iconic console comes in signature Pac-Man yellow, featuring illuminated character icons across the front. The bundle also includes the Pac-Man: Double Feature 2-in-1 cartridge and a Pac-Man Edition of the Atari CX40+ Wireless Joystick. The Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition and game cartridges, manufactured by Plaion – Atari's official partner on the Atari+ console ecosystem – is now available for pre-order at $169.99 USD.
• Pac-Man: Double Feature 2-in-1 Cartridge: This dual game cartridge includes Pac-Man 7800, a brand new, arcade-style version of the classic, along with Pac-Man 2600, the very first home console release of the game.
