Pac-Man is 45 years old in 2025, and series owner Bandai Namco has a big old shindig planned to distract the ravenous yellow circle from the slowly encroaching spectre of death. The publisher has outlined a 'year-long celebration' to commemorate Pac-Man's anniversary, hosting numerous events around the world and, er, releasing a cookbook.
According to a press release, the celebrations are planned to run through 2025 and into early next year, running along the theme of 'imPACt', whatever that means. This will include live events occurring across the next few months, such as a "special display" showcased at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, which runs from April 30 through June 4 this year. Moreover, the Great Park Gallery in Irvine, California will host a "Pac-Man retrospective exhibition" starting in May and concluding in late September.
