Pac-Man is active across merchandise, art, and game releases. Bandai is launching a capsule toy line in August 2026, an art gallery runs in Tokyo and Fukuoka, and a feature phone version of the original game is available on Switch and PC via G-Mode Archives+.
Pac-Man's presence in 2026 spans physical merchandise, gallery art, and re-released games. Bandai's capsule toy line, Pac-Man Mejirushi Accessory Continue, launches in the second week of August at 300 yen per play. It includes 12 types of mark accessories featuring Pac-Man, Blinky, and Pinky in both Round and Dot versions, reproducing the game's visual style.
The PAC-MAN art gallery 'PAC-MAN BEYOND - FROM 8-BIT TO INFINITE BITE.' runs at MIYASHITA PARK in Shibuya from July 24 to 27, 2026, and in Fukuoka from August 28 to 31. It displays modern art including a Kano School-style hanging scroll and sells items such as a PAC-MAN MIKOSHI for 440,000 yen, PAC-MAN E-candles for 16,500 yen, and T-shirts for 8,800 yen. Advance reservations are open.
On the game side, G-Mode released the feature phone version of Pac-Man on June 18, 2026, as part of its G-Mode Archives+ revival project. It is available on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam for 800 yen. The revival preserves the original arcade gameplay: players control Pac-Man through a maze, eating all cookies while avoiding four ghosts, with power cookies allowing Pac-Man to temporarily eat ghosts. This is the third Bandai Namco Entertainment title in the G-Mode Archives+ line, following Xenosaga Pied Piper and Namco Chronicle.
Pac-Man also appears as a collaboration minigame in My Hero Academia: All's Justice on Switch 2, launching September 3 in Japan and September 4 worldwide. The minigame is part of a new Minigame mode that will also be added to other platforms via a free update on the same day.
