Pac-Man is heading back to consoles.
Publisher Bandai Namco announced today that it is bringing Pac-Man 256 to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on June 21. This is the same game that developer Hipster Whale produced for smartphones and tablets in 2015, but it is getting a new multiplayer mode for its jump to more traditional platforms. Unlike the mobile version, you’ll need to plunk down some cash (5 euros, according to the company’s European site — that’s about $5.60, but we’re waiting for confirmation on U.S. pricing) to download the game. This is all part of Bandai Namco’s continuing efforts to let smaller developers like Hipster Whale and its co-studio, 3 Sprockets, use beloved properties like Pac-Man to generate as much income as possible from the $99.6 billion gaming industry.
