In addition to these announcements, PAC-MAN’s presence outside of video games keeps on growing thanks to new partnerships. Starting June 6th, the PAC-MAN x EASTPAK collection will be available in participating retailers throughout EMEA, USA and South Korea, carrying bags, suitcases and pencil cases. For tourists visiting Paris, the Yooma Urban Lodge Paris Tour Eiffel will feel like being part of a PAC-MAN maze with a immersive decoration of the hotel’s entrance hall, courtyard and corridors. In Berlin, as the Computerspielemuseum is encouraging everyone to replay history in their museum, PAC-MAN and the ghosts will take over a train of the U-Bahn 5 starting this month. Slated for this Autumn/Winter, a PAC-MAN Collection in collaboration with sloggi will be available in several countries in Europe and Asia.
