PAC-MAN™, THE ORIGINAL VIDEO GAME SUPER STAR, TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE COMIC-CON MUSEUM CHARACTER HALL OF FAME

PAC-MAN is the First Video Game Character to be Inducted in the Museum Character Hall of Fame; Joining BATMAN, the Inaugural Inductee Character from 2019

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (November 19, 2020) – Leading interactive entertainment company BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc. today celebrates PAC-MAN™’s upcoming official induction into the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame (MCHOF). PAC-MAN is the first video game character to be inducted into the MCHOF and is being recognized and honored for his profound impact on the video game industry, his influence on popular culture, and his far-reaching and enduring popularity across the globe. 

Born on May 22, 1980, PAC-MAN immediately rose to meteoric popularity, first in video game arcades, then on the pop culture stage, and later through an array of branding and entertainment appearances throughout the 1980s and 1990s. With a worldwide brand recognition rate of 90%, PAC-MAN continues to be one of the most recognized images and brands on the planet. Featuring a simple pick-up-and-play yet challenging-to-master gameplay design, PAC-MAN was created to buck the trend of arcade games that were commonly designed to attract male players. Instead, PAC-MAN was created to appeal to both male and female players and to be appropriate for players of all ages. These core design principles contributed to making PAC-MAN the family-friendly character he is today and delivering on his goal of bringing more fun to everyone no matter their gender or age.

The MCHOF induction process will comprise of multiple parts, starting with a character tribute dedicated to PAC-MAN’s 40-year history through exclusive online content as well as an award and online induction ceremony. The many creators and developers who have contributed to PAC-MAN’s status as an icon will also be recognized and honored. PAC-MAN fans will also be part of the celebration as commemorative T-shirts and pins will be made available and they can participate in virtual museum experiences.

“When I created PAC-MAN over 40 years ago, I never could have imagined the amount of joy he has brought to video game fans, nor could I have imagined his reach around the globe,” said Toru Iwatani, the original creator of PAC-MAN. “While I’m proud of my work, the real happiness I feel is in how PAC-MAN has entertained millions of fans around the world and how those fans have in-turn supported PAC-MAN with their love and loyalty all these years. The bond between creator, character, and player has been so strong these past decades. I hope to see this connection continuing long into the future.”

“PAC-MAN’s enduring popularity and relevance speak volumes to how he has touched the lives of countless players and fans throughout his 40 years as the original video game icon,” said Yutaka Fuse, Head of PAC-MAN Branding and Licensing at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc. “To be inducted into the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame is truly a great honor and we look forward to celebrating with fans around the globe.” 

“We thought PAC-MAN would be the perfect addition to the Museum Character Hall of Fame because he inspires a sense of nostalgia in many of us and even though he is turning 40, he is still highly relevant in pop culture today,” said Eddie Ibrahim, Senior Director of Programming for the Comic-Con Museum. “Characters tell the stories of pop culture and what better time, when we are more digital than ever, to honor our first digital character.”

Even as he enters his 40s, PAC-MAN shows no signs of slowing down. Just this year, PAC-MAN has released new gaming experiences through partners such as Minecraft with a special PAC-MAN 40^th Anniversary DLC content pack, Google Maps with PAC-MAN GEO™, and the just-released PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE™ on Google Stadia.

Fight Tyrannical Corporations and Bring a Cyberpunk Civilization Back from the Brink Alongside a Robotic Companion on January 26 

WIESBADEN, GERMANY (November 19, 2020) – Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Chaosmonger Studio are delighted to share today a new trailer, screenshots, and an official release date for the upcoming dystopian point-and-click adventure game Encodya. On January 26, 2021, Encodya will make its debut on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam and GOG. Following a nine-year-old orphan and her clumsy robot guardian and set in the year 2062, Encodya is a dark yet heartwarming tale of love, perseverance, and greed. 

Encodya puts you in the role of Tina, an orphan with nothing to call her own. Her guardian, a large and lumbering robot named SAM-53, is her only safety and protection from a grim world full of greed and brutal poverty. Controlled by tyrannical corporations, Tina and SAM must make the best of their circumstances in order to set out on an adventure to turn their cyberpunk dystopia into a lively utopia once more. Without knowing what danger lurks behind the next corner, Tina will rely on her wit and SAM’s metal muscle to leave a life of homelessness and scavenging behind her. 

“Bringing Encodya to life is a dream come true for our studio, and the characters and topics in the game perfectly tackle the real-world issues we aimed to address,” said Nicola Piovesan, Founder of Chaosmonger Studio. “It is the lovechild of our studio’s desire to create something totally unique to the genre while also bringing attention to the future we could head into. Wishlist Encodya and let’s explore the future together on January 26th!”

Based on the animated short called “Robot Will Protect You,” and inspired by the atmosphere of Blade Runner and the poignant storytelling of Studio Ghibli, Encodya features a distinctive art style and deep, immersive sound design. The original soundtrack creates a thrilling atmosphere to explore the menacing world of Neo-Berlin in 2.5D with the two playable characters, Tina and SAM-53. With more than 35 NPCs to bring the story to life and over 4,000 lines of dialogue, Encodya offers a beautifully grim adventure that gracefully nods to the real-world atrocities of our current society. 

Additional Key Features Include: 

• 118 unique scenes ranging from day, night, and secret in-game locations 
• Ten hours of stellar gameplay, including 15 minutes of dazzling cinematic cut scenes 
• 47 mission tasks, 75 perplexing puzzles, and 134 potential inventory items 

Encodya’s initial Kickstarter campaign was a massive success; the project’s $29,500 goal was significantly exceeded as the community of over 600 supporters rallied behind the game, ultimately raising beyond $55,000 to bring the project to life. A free demo of Encodya is now available to download on Steam. 

Encodya will be available on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux platforms via Steam and GOG on January 26, 2021. To learn more, please visit https://chaosmonger.itch.io/encodya.

All-New Short Scenarios to bring Iconic Romance of The Three Kingdoms Scenes to Life!

Hertfordshire, 19^th November 2020 – KOEI TECMO Europe and famed developer Kou Shibusawa are excited to reveal the addition of War Chronicles Mode to Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV: Diplomacy and Strategy Expansion Pack. The expansion pack will release digitally on the 11^th February 2021 for the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System and Windows PC via Steam®, while also making its series debut as the first ruler-based Romance of The Three Kingdoms game on Nintendo Switch™.

In the thrilling new War Chronicles Mode, five new short scenarios will be added to the battlefield, including “Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition”, the “The Battle of Guandu”, the “The Battle of Chibi”, the “The Battle for Jing Province”, and the “The Battle for Wuzhang Plains”. In this new mode, gamers will take command of forces which cannot be chosen in normal scenarios — such as Zhou Yu in the “Battle of Chibi” and rivals Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi in the heated “Battle of Wuzhang Plains” — and each scenario will include original events, adding even more excitement to the classic scenes in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At the conclusion of each scenario, players will be evaluated and given a score according to several factors including how many turns were used, how many orders were consumed, and how many times a coordinated tactic was executed, testing the true skills of every gamer out on the virtual battlefield.

Beyond War Chronicles Mode, the ability to provide “false information” against enemy units was also revealed.  “False information” is a unit command which disseminates disinformation to enemy units and leads them into traps. If you lay a trap in advance and activate the command “false information” against a marching enemy unit, your previous commands will be suspended and your unit will deceive the enemy unit to move toward the ensuing trap. With “False Information”, success depends on intelligence, so officers with high intelligence are going to play a more active part in battlefields than ever before. New officer characteristics referring to “false information” will also be introduced into the game, such as “Seer” and “Careless”, allowing officers to have more vivid and effective personality types throughout every campaign.

In addition, the new “Destroy Building” ability will enable players to sabotage structures on the map. Instead of simply marching units to destroy a building in a soldier’s way like in previous games, now you will be able to set traps like falling rocks to devastate buildings impeding your path to victory.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV: Diplomacy and Strategy Expansion Pack also features a variety of early purchase bonus items that will be available to freely download within the first two weeks from launch. The bonus scenario ‘The Fall of Shu Han’ will be available for players on all platforms, while the ‘Battle of Yiling’ scenario, originally a bonus for the release of Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV, will be available exclusively to Switch players. Additionally, the ‘Legends of Galactic Heroes’ collaboration scenario ‘In the Middle of an Endless Dream’ and all characters of ‘Legend of the Galactic Heroes’ collaboration DLC #1 through #5 will be available as a Switch exclusive bonus. Characters excluding Reinhard and Yang will be available for two weeks after launch.
