As part of the game's 40th Anniversary, Bandai Namco revealed a new Pac-Man title today with Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle. Developed by Heavy Iron Studios, the game is officially launching on Stadia as it uses Google's cloud gaming platform to create the largest multiplayer Pac-Man game ever developed with 64 players. Yes, that's right, 54-player Pac-Man! The games are spread across an interconnected grid of PAC-MAN mazes where you'll need to outwit and outlast the other 63 people on the board in what is essentially a battle royale version of the classic arcade title. What's more, because it is on Stadia, the game can be played every way Stadia can through PC, laptops, tablets, phones, and on a TV. The game will also have new powerups and a spectator mode to make things a little more interesting. You can play a free demo of the game right now until October 27th by clicking here, as the game will officially launch on November 17th for $20.
