pac-man: Facebook to add multiplayer Pac-Man game on the platform

Facebook has announced that it is launching Pac-Man community on the platform. With the addition, users can play the Pac-Man game solo or through co-op multiplayer in groups of up to four people to complete each maze while still competing against each other for the highest point total. Apart from the built-in mazes, players can also create their own levels and challenges through the Maze Creator tool.
Through the new Play with Streamer feature on the platform, Facebook Gaming creators can invite their communities directly from their livestream to join them in-game to play or watch. Player-created mazes will be featured inside the game daily. Facebook has also announced that it will also launch community-oriented challenges and mazes curated and cultivated by streamers’ communities.
The company is also aiming to make live gaming video an active experience with the introduction of Facebook Interactives. The feature allows users to participate while simultaneously watching a gamer’s livestream. In Pac-Man Community, people viewing a 24/7 livestream in Watch mode can also power up either the AI Pac-Man or Ghosts and compete. Mazes are turned into 3D streams, powered by Unreal Engine, where viewers can interact directly with the video player. Coming later in the beta, by interacting with a streamer’s session, viewers can work collectively toward global unlocks for the Maze Creator tool. When a streamer isn’t live, the Watch tab will feature AI characters, just like an arcade machine that isn’t being played.
The game has been developed by Genvid in partnership with Bandai Namco. As of now, Facebook has not revealed when the Pac-Man Community will be rolled out on the platform but the company has shared a video that gives a glimpse of how the new game will look like.
