A new immersive experience based on the PAC-MAN video game franchise is set to launch in the UK. Little Lion Entertainment , known for its augmented reality (AR) experiences, joined forces with Bandai Namco Entertainment to create the "PAC-MAN Live Experience". The companies say it will be an "unprecedented" experience for players.
Little Lion Entertainment is noted for its attractions, including The Crystal Maze Live Experiences, Tomb Raider: The Live Experience, and Chaos Karts. Bandai Namco Entertainment, a global video game publisher, is most well-known for its entertainment franchises, including PAC-MAN, Tekken, and Elden Ring. The collaboration between the two companies promises an 'exciting addition' to the world of augmented reality and location-based entertainment.
The game will see players become "PAC-People", navigating through levels to collect "power pellets" and fruit while avoiding ghosts and accumulating points. The mazes will be brought to life around the players using augmented reality. Chief executive of Little Lion Entertainment, Tom Lionetti-Maguire, said: "We are ecstatic to collaborate with Bandai Namco Entertainment, the pioneers of one of the most beloved video games in history.
"Their expertise and collaboration in our creative vision have been invaluable in ensuring that our live experience remains authentic to the original game, while offering a fresh and thrilling twist in bringing this into a fully playable 360-degree digital world." The acquisit.
