Bandai Namco is celebrating the launch of the new Pac-Man: Snack Breaks animated shorts with some live events and more to mark the occasion. In case you missed the news, this is the first proper animated series based on the video game in a long time, putting Pac-Man and other characters from that universe of characters in a whole new short-form series by animation studio Cartuna. As part of the celebration of the series' debut, there will be two events in Los Angeles tonight (May 22) and on May 24, as well as some freebies in the latest Pac-Man title. Kidn of a shame there aren't more events happening outside of LA, but there's not a lot we can do about that. We have more details on all of that below.
