Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. has opened physical pre-orders for Shadow Labyrinth, a dark, action-packed 2D platformer launching on 18 July 2025. It’s coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, and later Nintendo Switch 2.
This isn’t your typical PAC-MAN title. You’ll play as Swordsman No. 8, guided by the yellow companion PUCK, on a mission to consume, evolve, and escape a deadly alien world. Expect brutal enemies, deep exploration, and slick 2D action with modern design twists.
