Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+, the title update to the 2010 arcade game, chomps onto various platforms on September 25. CE DX+ commemorates Pac’s neon antics coming to Steam as a standalone, but it’ll also be available for on PS3, 360, and Windows 8 as a free update to CE DX.
Going by last month’s leak, CE DX+ itself provides light enhancments, adding leaderboard tweaks, challenge-based medals, and friend comparisons. As producer Kunito Komori explained to me, comparisons are tied to a specific friend’s scores that are displayed on the CE DX+ dashboard, giving players another mark to top in addition to their own.
The more exciting newness is the ‘All You Can Eat’ DLC that CE DX+ grants access to, comprising four maps, three reskins, and two pieces of background music. The reskins include Rally-X, Dig Dug, and Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures; they’re cute enough, but the real meat is the four maps.
