Shadow Labyrinth is a 2D action platformer developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It released on July 18, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Presented as a darker, alternate take on PAC-MAN, the game casts you as The Swordsman, who wakes on a mysterious planet guided by a floating orb called PUCK. You explore a large interconnected map, unlock new abilities and return to earlier areas to reach hidden paths.
Combat mixes sword attacks with the ability to consume defeated enemies, gaining materials and power as you grow from prey into predator. Some sections switch to maze-style stages that nod to the original arcade game.
It is a single-player game focused on exploration, boss fights and secrets rather than online play.
As you progress, you unlock new movement and combat skills that let you reach previously blocked areas. Defeated foes leave behind resources used to strengthen The Swordsman, and powerful bosses guard key parts of the map. The game also lets you transform into a large mech form at certain moments for heavy-hitting attacks. An interconnected map and optional challenges support a full exploration-driven adventure that rewards players for revisiting earlier zones with newly unlocked abilities.
It suits fans of metroidvania-style platformers and players interested in a very different spin on a classic Bandai Namco icon.
