Get ready for a retro revival! PLAION REPLAI, Atari, and Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. have teamed up to reveal the Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition, a modern twist on the iconic home console that brings back the golden age of gaming with a colorful PAC-MAN makeover. The updated system launches worldwide on October 31, 2025, with pre-orders going live via Amazon and Atari.com.
🟡 A Retro Console with a PAC-MAN Punch
Reimagined in PAC-MAN’s signature yellow, the Atari 2600+ PAC-MAN Edition blends nostalgic aesthetics with modern enhancements. The front panel is adorned with illuminated character icons, paying homage to the ghosts and gobbler that changed the face of arcade and home gaming forever.
