Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac Launches With Visual Overhaul and New Modes as Short Runtime and Price Draw Scrutiny

An early review highlights a sharp visual upgrade with concerns over value.

Overview

  • The remake is now available on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, arriving with a new launch trailer.
  • Built from scratch, the release adds a second-player Pac-Drone for local co-op, a mission challenge mode, updated cutscenes and level layouts, and refreshed boss arenas.
  • A Nintendo Life review reports a core campaign of roughly six to seven hours, with a £34.99 launch price influencing perceptions of value.
  • On Switch 2, performance is 30fps in 4K Quality mode when docked or 60fps at 1080p in docked and handheld play, with only brief stutters observed.
  • The Nintendo Life review praises the visual overhaul and quality-of-life tweaks yet flags legacy issues such as camera frustrations and occasionally unforgiving boss fights.
