There are a few interesting elements, mind you, including boost pads that speed Pac-Man (or &#8220;Puck&#8221;, as it&#8217;s known here) along a straight line, along with the ability to jump and bash into platforms, thus causing them to move or fall down.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s looking pretty sweet, and it&#8217;s worth noting that this one is scheduled to launch on both the Switch and Switch 2, so we&#8217;d expect the latter to showcase some sizable performance upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever you opt to get, the game will launch on <strong>18th July 2025<\/strong>. The core gameplay sees you take on the role of &#8220;The Swordsman&#8221;, who must survive in a deadly world filled with fearsome creatures, all the while utilising Puck to gobble up enemies and gain vital upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>Images: Bandai Namco Entertainment<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on this one so far? Will you be picking up Shadow Labyrinth when it launches in July?
