Bandai Namco to Shut Down PAC-MAN Mobile Game
Bandai Namco has announced the shutdown of PAC-MAN Mobile, marking a poignant end as the legendary icon celebrates its 45th anniversary this year. Launched over a decade ago, this mobile rendition of the classic game is set to close its doors.
When Is the PAC-MAN Mobile Shutdown?
The official shutdown date for PAC-MAN Mobile is set for May 30th, 2025. In-app purchases were discontinued as of April 1st, but players can continue enjoying the game until the final date. The decision to completely shut down the game rather than transition it to an offline version has left many fans disappointed, as they believe an offline mode could have sustained the game and continued to generate revenue.
Originally known as PAC-MAN + Tournaments, this version of the game offered more than just the classic arcade experience. It featured an 8-bit arcade mode, a Story Mode with numerous original mazes, and an Adventure Mode with limited-time themed events, allowing players to earn exclusive skins. The Tournament Mode added weekly maze challenges across three difficulty levels, along with a variety of skins for PAC-MAN, ghosts, and even the joystick, enhancing the gaming experience.
The Reason
Over the past few years, the game has faced numerous technical issues and bugs, which likely contributed to the decision to shut it down. The initial excitement around its Android launch saw players eagerly competing for high scores and leaderboard rankings, creating a vibrant community of enthusiasts.
For those wishing to experience PAC-MAN Mobile one last time before its closure, the game is available on the Google Play Store. Don't miss out on this final opportunity to relive the classic fun.
