Shadow Labyrinth waka wakas to release this July
Bandai Namco have announced that Shadow Labyrinth, the new take on Pac-Man, will chomp its way to release this July 18. As part of the news, we got a new trailer for the game, check it out.
The trailer also showed off the all-new Gaia mech suit, that players will be able to enter, in order to deal out devastating damage. This is not something that you can spend all your time in, it will only be available once charged, so making use of it at the right time, will be crucial if you want to escape.
Gaia is the latest reveal of multiple modes of play along with the quick and agile Swordsman No.8 melee combat and Mini Puck mode that lets players ride rails and explore small areas in classic Pac-Man fashion.
If you are looking at the trailer and wondering how this is Pac-Man, it is a new take. The game instead puts players in the role of another character as protagonist, a warrior named Swordsman No. 8, but with the mysterious yet familiar yellow companion Puck at their side. Puck’s role is that of guide and guardian, teaching players that their aim in this treacherous world is to escape it, and to achieve that they must consume everything that waits in the darkness to survive and grow more powerful.
The game is coming to Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on July 18. Orders are open now for some platforms and there is a standard edition and a deluxe edition, which comes with a digital artbook and digital soundtrack.
