Everything except the maze is edible in PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE: CHOMP CHAMPS, where players chomp their way through pellets, power-ups, GHOSTS, and even other PACs across multiple interconnected mazes to become the Chomp Champ – a.k.a. the last PAC standing at the end of each match. The title is the first multiplayer PAC-MAN game that is cross platform. It also features a Friend system that lets up to four players join the same match, track each other’s progress, and spectate their friends’ game play. Game modes include Elimination Mode with arcade-style action where players of any rank can compete and earn Tokens to redeem on customization items, and Ranked Mode where players are paired with similarly skilled opponents from around the world and compete for their place on regional and global leaderboards.
 
In a game where players’ PACs can chomp other PACs, it’s only natural that almost anything goes. PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE: CHOMP CHAMPS features a variety of Power Items that not only boost players’ abilities but can enlist the GHOSTS as allies of convenience. Players can gain power ups such as enhanced speed, shields, and more to help their PACs or help the GHOSTS chase down the competition. While game skills are the best way to stand out in a field of 64 players, the many customization options in the game lets players make their PAC their own, competing in a whole other field – style bragging rights. PACs in the game are customizable with a variety of body, head, and face cosmetics, opening the way for some of the most inventive and colorful variations on the good ol’ yellow fella yet.
