Bandai Namco is bringing together Gundam Breaker 4 and the Pac-Man series in the ultimate collaboration later this month.
Between 18th July - 20th July 2024, Gundam Breaker 4 will host a special "open network test" featuring a special Pac-Man level filled with appropriately-themed Pac-Man content including ghosts and more. There'll also be some unlockable decals.
Keep in mind, Gundam Breaker 4 isn't out on the Nintendo Switch and other platforms until 29th August 2024, so this is just an early test with some bonus content.
"Get ready to Break, Build, and Conquer the maze! Gundam Breaker 4 will collaborate for a special PAC-MAN level complete with themed enemies, and unlockable decals to use in the rest of the game!"
This new Gundam game follows the release of Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs in May 2024.

Didn't see such a crossover coming despite Bandai Namco being the publisher of Gundam Breaker 4, but it's hilarious and seems like it could be fun so I absolutely welcome it in general and even personally as it gives me one more reason to eventually get that game!
PLEASE remind me a day before the beta launches. I wanna try this out but am not convinced enough to buy it yet. Would be a good opportunity
I had to check my calendar at first! 😆 But this actually looks fantastic... and hilarious. It is so nice to see something fun like this. I've never tried an entry in this series, but my interest is definitely piqued! I will look forward to seeing more. The movement in particular looks lovely.
Pac-man 25 was amazing, all these other ones are gash.
Well I never expected to see Gundam mechs strolling about in Pac-man mazes blasting poor Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. What a creative way to do a network test! It’s so bizarre I’ll have to try it out. Plus I’ve got Breaker 4 on preorder so I guess I’m obligated to collect some Pac-man cosmetics. 😁
@Samalik I second this. I have the physical version preordered but I’m not convinced to keep it mostly due to how awful New Gundam Breaker was. I heard so many great things about the Breaker series, it figures they would localize the worst one… hoping this is a return to form
I participated on the beta test and had a blast, so this game is definitely a must for me. I didn't expect an event like this but it looks quite silly and fun.
@JohnnyMind We need more random crossovers that no will see coming from every game company.
Super Robot Wars x Custom Robo
Ace Combat x Star Fox
God of War x Final Fantasy
Persona x Animal Crossing
Cute. I like both concepts, but I'll pass.
@DripDropCop146 Yes please, and for the Persona x Animal Crossing apart from furniture Morgana as a villager immediately came to mind just like the Zelda and Sanrio ones!
Thank you for the reminder!
Can Bandai just give us a new Dynasty Warriors Gundam entry please haha? That was one of my favorite Musou games. I’ll give this a try during the beta. I love Gundam, but most games using the IP fall flat for me. My favorite was Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes on the Dreamcast.
@Notsoavid at this point I’ll even take ports of the previous games, I would like them to be accessible to current platforms so I don’t have to hook up my PS3 every time I want to play. I agree most Gundam games (specifically ones that actually get localized) tend to not be great. I still have to give Rise From the Ashes a fair shot. I got the game used quite a few years ago with no instructions and that’s a game that I feel needs some instructions because starting it I have no clue what I’m doing. I enjoyed the Gundam Battle Assault games on the PS1. Unironically some of my favorite fighting games. And SD Gundam Battle Alliance seems pretty good from what I’ve played so far. As for this I’m hoping it’s good. I heard Breaker 2 and 3 were both really good but I never imported them, and I foolishly got New Gundam Breaker, being the first localized Breaker game I figured I’ve heard nothing but good things about the last two games and, well, I regretted spending money on that garbage
