Facebook has launched a new Pac-Man Game to its gaming community, developed by Genvid and, in collaboration, with BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment.
Pac-Man Community is a new multiplayer-focused spin on the classic arcade game that you’ll be able to play right on Facebook.
Facebook allows users to play solo or multiplayer (up to four players) to complete the mazes. On top, users can also create their own mazes and challenges through the Maze Creator tool.
“With Play Watch Connect, we’re delivering more immersive and engaging social experiences that build a community around games on Facebook,” says Facebook in its blog.
The main draw of Pac-Man Community is the ability to play co-op Pac-Man with up to three other people. Players work together to try to survive the pesky ghosts, but they’ll also be competing for the highest score. You can make rooms to play with your friends, and Facebook Gaming streamers can invite viewers to join their game with Facebook’s Play with Streamer feature.
In PAC-MAN COMMUNITY, people viewing a 24/7 live stream in Watch mode can also power up either the AI PAC-MAN or Ghosts and compete.
When a streamer isn’t live, the Watch tab will feature AI characters, just like an arcade machine that isn’t being played.
“Player-created mazes will be featured inside the game daily, and soon we’ll launch community-oriented challenges and mazes curated and cultivated by streamers’ communities,” says Facebook.
“We believe games bring people together in powerful ways, whether that’s playing games together, watching gaming videos, or connecting around games in Facebook Groups,” says Facebook
