Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe is proud to celebrate PAC-MAN 45^th anniversary with several new announcements. First released in 1980, PAC-MAN has continued for the past four decades to be a synonym of fun for all audiences, while growing to enter different media and genres of games, with the latest examples of the Secret Level episode and Shadow Labyrinth announcement.

SHADOW LABYRINTH, the upcoming 2D action exploration platformer set in a dark Sci-Fi world inspired by PAC-MAN and other legendary arcade era games receives a brand-new look today. Released fittingly on the video game icon’s 45^th anniversary – PAC-MAN was released in Japanese arcades on May 22, 1980 – an all-new trailer showcases how elements of the original game and the many memorable titles that followed in the franchise are creatively woven into the title’s game play. SHADOW LABYRINTH takes players on an epic journey on a hostile planet where dangers lurk everywhere, and where a mysterious yet recognizable companion named PUCK imparts familiar wisdom – to survive, they must explore this maze-filled world and consume everything around them to become the apex predator.The title is slated for release on July 18, 2025, and is available now for pre-orders on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ and PC via Steam® in Digital Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions. It is also launching on Nintendo Switch™ 2, with digital pre-orders opening soon. For more information, visit www.shadowlabyrinthgame.com.

Developed by Bandai Namco Studios, SHADOW LABYRINTH blends a modern fast-paced take on the platformer genre with both story and game play nods that draw from Bandai Namco’s arcade legacy. As shown in the latest reveal, a dark vision of the PAC-MAN universe factors large in the game, with PUCK as both guide and a source of powerful – and often familiar – skills and abilities. Taking on the role of a warrior named Swordsman No. 8, and accompanied by PUCK at every turn, players explore this vast world to discover powerful weapons and overcome formidable foes, along the way uncovering terrifying secrets about the planet and its inhabitants. Throughout the game, SHADOW LABYRINTH weaves iconic PAC-MAN game play into the experience, with twisting corridors, pursuit-style mechanics, nostalgic sights and sounds, and one massive, memorable, and very familiar boss known as the G-HOST Bug. Like the original PAC-MAN, surviving the horrors of this labyrinthine world by consuming everything that stands in their way is the beating heart that will keep players alive.

SHADOW LABYRINTH features a rich universe and narrative that draws wider inspiration than just PAC-MAN, tapping into Bandai Namco’s broader library of beloved games from the arcade era. Between now and launch, Banda Namco is planning surprise reveals of the many inspirations behind this game, unveiling nods that are sure to evoke nostalgia in longtime gamers and open up the worlds and characters of legendary arcade IP to a new generation of players.

Inspired by other relaxing job sims, with a fresh take on a satisfying cleanup experience

DUBLIN, IRELAND – May 22nd, 2025 – Leaf Blower Co., the relaxing outdoor cleaning simulator from developer LifT Games and publisher Forklift Interactive, revs up for its first demo available now on PC via Steam.

Set in a quiet town in New England, players will find themselves at the beginning of their Leaf Blowing career, having just come home to set up their own business. Across the full story mode, you’ll explore a variety of locales, each with hidden easter eggs to hunt and optional objectives to complete, alongside your standard leaf-blowing duties. 

On top of that, you’ll find yourself sorting out problems beyond just leaves, whether that’s boxes, coconuts, or anything else that a trusty leaf blower might be a helpful tool for clearing away. And of course, Fall is a fickle mistress – while you’ll be seeing your share of warm sunny days, you’ll also be working through rain, fog, and even snow as you find that weather makes all the difference to the job!

“As soon as we came to Leaf Blowing as the core mechanic, we never looked back. We hope people find it as fun and calming to do as we do, whether that’s for a quick 20 minutes or hours on end!”remarked Seán Forsyth, developer at LifT Games.

Alongside the main jobs in your leaf-blowing career, you can always take a break in your schedule to seek out a side job as well. While your regular clients will be at specific locations and have their own requirements, you’ll find the side jobs are much more adaptable to the mood you’re in. Fancy heading to the tennis courts in the sunshine for a leisurely afternoon session? Or maybe the soft patter of rain and a nighttime option at the museum is more your speed? 

Then again, an early morning blizzard on the beach would be bracing as well! Unlocking new locations, tools, and skills as you play through the main story jobs, your options only grow over time. And hey, why not spend some of your hard-earned cash from all this work on new skins for your tools? Nothing wrong with looking your best and having fun while you do.

The demo of Leaf Blower Co. includes three full story levels, multiple unlockable tools and skills, and of course, the ability to play levels your way – choosing the location, weather conditions, and the time of day that suits you. And it’s only a fraction of what’s to come in the full game!

Leaf Blower Co.’s first demo is available today on PC via Steam. For more information, check out the official website, follow @LiftIndie and @forkliftgames on Twitter.
