Releasing this Friday, May 27, Pac-Man Museum+ invites players to discover or revisit 14 titles in the legendary Pac-Man series, with some that have not been available in years.

It's not a birthday party without music and entertainment, and Bandai Namco is going all out on this front.

The song is written by Yoshihito Yano of Bandai Namco Studios Inc. and Kazuhito Udetsu of Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., and performed by Tokyo-based artist Kaho Kidoguchi. To join in the celebration, the ever-popular Fortnite from Epic Games will welcome Pac-Man themed cosmetics on June 2, giving players the opportunity to show off their appreciation of the classic character.
