Sonic and Pac-Man’s next games will have crossover DLC featuring each other

Sega and Bandai Namco have announced that Sonic and Pac-Man will be appearing in each other’s next big release.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will feature Pac-Man crossover DLC, which will be appearing as part of the game’s first Season Pass.

This will include the addition of Pac-Man and the ghosts as part of the game’s roster, as well as a Pac-Man themed track.

After this, Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac – the upcoming remake of the PS2, GameCube and Xbox platformer – will feature Sonic-themed DLC, including three Sonic collaboration stages and a Sonic costume for Pac-Man.

Sega has now revealed five of the six crossover packs that will be arriving as part of the first Season Pass in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

The Pac-Man crossover content will be joining racers and tracks from Minecraft, SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Avatar Legends.

Bandai Namco announced Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac last month. The game will be a remake of its source material, much like Pac-Man World Re-Pac before it.

Pac-Man World 2 was originally released in 2002 on PS2, GameCube and Xbox. This remake gives the game a modern makeover, as well as “expanded levels and Pac-Village, quality of life improvements and voice acting”.

It appears that this includes the return of Martin Sherman, who voiced Pac-Man in the third game Pac-Man World 3.

According to Bandai Namco, the remake will give Pac-Man new abilities, will update the boss battles, and will add new characters, collectables and customisations. It will also feature a two-player mode.
