<p>Believe it or not, next year will see the 40th anniversary of gaming classic <strong>Pac-Man</strong>, and Bandai Namco is planning a year-long series of celebrations in honour of the ravenous yellow blob.</p>
<p>Pac-Man first appeared on the scene on 22nd May 1980, rising to fame as an arcade star before shifting to games consoles, mobile devices, and <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/03/pac-man_makes_a_playable_appearance_in_google_maps">even Google Maps</a>. Now you’ll find the series’ titular character appearing in games like <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate"><strong>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</strong></a>, sitting side-by-side with some of gaming’s most iconic stars.</p>
<p>A website has been set up to keep track of the celebrations, promising “activities, partnerships, and surprises” which will appear all throughout next year. Things have kicked off slightly early, though, with the official Pac-Man 40th-anniversary theme song called ‘Join the PAC’ already being released. You can check it out below; it was composed by the famed Japanese techno producer, DJ. Ken Ishii.</p>
