Pac-Man Museum + pays homage to the iconic video game character who defined and ushered in the modern generation of video games.
From the arcade of the 80s to the living room console and finally the handheld system, the beloved dot munching yellow blob has become not only a gaming staple, but a pop culture icon.
Throughout the Pac-Man video game series, players control the titular character throughout maze levels while it munches on dots and gets chased by four ghosts. There are also power-ups hidden throughout the level, which turns the title as the ghosts becomes vulnerable and try to escape Pac-Man.

It is unknown if this iteration of the Pac-Man Museum will add more titles like Ms. Pac-Man(1982), Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (1994) or Pac-Man World (1999) later down the line.
The title features a customizable arcade mode, where the player can control the titular character and explore a virtual arcade. The arcade can also be customized with decorative objects that can be purchased by spending coins, earned by playing games and completing missions.
Each game in the collection is presented as originally shown, alongside new missions added to the original games.
The game will also launch on Game Pass alongside the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC on May 27, 2022. It will certainly be an amazing title to play around in and as Pac-Man.
