MY.GAMES, a leading international video game developer and publisher, announces a special limited-time in-game PAC-MAN™: Arcade event for Rush Royale. The event is inspired by the legendary PAC-MAN and reimagines Rush Royale’s most popular co-op mode with retro arcade energy and brand-new gameplay rules.
For two weeks beginning March 10, players can enter a special event level inspired by the classic PAC-MAN labyrinth, redesigned in a vibrant 8-bit style. The gameplay is based on Endless Co-Op, where players must survive as long as possible on a unique PAC-MAN themed map against endless waves of enemies led by PAC-MAN’s legendary Ghosts — Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde. Each match automatically assigns temporary event heroes: one player controls PAC-MAN, while the other plays Duck, Rush Royale’s mascot, with each character offering a distinct playstyle — one acting as a powerful damage booster and the other as a tactical support.
“We’ve always wanted to collaborate with a truly legendary franchise like PAC-MAN, and this partnership felt like a natural fit from the start,” said Alexey Kornev, Project Director of Rush Royale at MY.GAMES. “As PAC-MAN celebrates its 45th anniversary and Rush Royale marks five years since launch, this collaboration brings two generations of gameplay together. Rush Royale’s unit-based gameplay aligns seamlessly with PAC-MAN’s iconic characters and arcade mechanics, transforming the familiar Rush Royale co-op mode into a fresh, high-intensity challenge with deeper strategy and a collectible-driven progression loop. The result is an experience that blends nostalgia with discovery — and celebrates what fans love about both games.”
Classic PAC-MAN Ghosts replace Rush Royale bosses and mini-bosses. Blinky acts as a high-health mini-boss, Pinky curses and stuns units, Inky provides a defensive aura that reduces incoming damage, and Clyde appears as the main boss, periodically casting one of several powerful disruptive abilities. Each Ghost introduces unique battlefield effects, disrupts board strategy, and increases the “Threat Meter,” empowering upcoming waves. Players can counter the Ghosts by combining spells and Hero abilities, though Ghosts cannot truly die and can only be dispersed temporarily.
Power Pellet and other classic PAC-MAN power-ups appear randomly on the battlefield granting mana and PAC-MAN Stacks, boosting Hero abilities, turning Ghosts vulnerable, and allowing instant eliminations when abilities are activated. Collecting Power-Ups and stacking Hero boosts is central to achieving record-breaking scores.
Event points are earned by defeating bosses and serve as the main progression metric, replacing time-based scoring with an arcade-style system. Points unlock rewards in the event reward track and Battle Pass, which follows the standard Rush Royale structure with repeatable rewards. The event leaderboard ranks player pairs by the highest score achieved in a single run, with both players receiving the same score.
The event follows shortly after Rush Royale celebrated its fifth anniversary. Since launch, the game has surpassed 100 million downloads worldwide and generated more than $470 million in lifetime revenue, reinforcing its position as one of MY.GAMES’ most successful mobile titles.
Rush Royale is available to play on both the Android and iOS platforms
