Sonic And Pac-Man Crossover DLC Packs Announced

by Marcus Stewart on Aug 19, 2025 at 12:26 PM

I don't know how many players expected Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man to become best buds, but pummeling each other in Super Smash Bros. games seems to have formed a mutual respect between the two. So much so that they'll be crossing over into each other's upcoming titles: Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, a game already crossover-heavy with guest characters like Hatsune Miku, Like A Dragon's Ichiban Kasuga, and even SpongeBob SquarePants, will add Pac-Man to the roster via a DLC pack next year. The pack also adds the Pac-Village racing track, which even lets players race on the classic arcade maze. 

Meanwhile, Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2, the remake of the PS1 sequel, is getting Sonic-themed DLC in 2026 as well. This update sees Pac-Man rocking a Sonic hat to race through Green Hill Zone and other Sonic levels. 

Fittingly, both games launch only a day apart, with Sonic Racing CrossWorlds releasing on September 25 and Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2 arriving on September 26.
