Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle is a battle royale maze game developed by Heavy Iron Studios. The game was originally released for Google Stadia on November 17, 2020.[1] On January 18, 2023, the game was shut down when Stadia ended its service.[2] On October 10, 2023, Bandai Namco announced an expanded version of the game called Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs, which will be released on Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X/S in 2024.

Gameplay

Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle plays similarly to the original Pac-Man arcade game. However, the game has 3D-graphics and up to 64-players can play at a time. The players begin in their own mazes before more areas get unlocked. Once the player eats a power-pellet, the player can either eat ghosts or other Pac-Men like in Pac-Man Battle Royale or Pac-Man Party Royale. If the player gets eaten by a ghost or another Pac-Man, the game is over.

The original Stadia version of the game received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. The reviews liked the battle-royale format of the game, but criticized it for its lack of content and its pricing. Elisha Deogracias of Gaming Trend noted in his review that there are better free alternatives such as PUBG.[5]
