Waka Waka!

In a relatively low-key post from Pac-Man's official website to celebrate the franchise's 42nd Anniversary, it's been announced that a collaboration will launch between the classic Bandai Namco franchise and Epic's titanic battle royale game Fortnite.
According to the official post, 'items with the "Pac-Man" motif' will appear in Fortnite starting on Thursday, June 2nd. It sounds like this will be limited to apparel, meaning you likely won't be seeing Pac-Man himself trotting around the map.
No further information has been provided at this time, including specific items and appearances, but it's likely we'll be getting some more information sooner than later.
Before that, though, we're going to be getting a new update on May 26th that will add Star Wars' most eloquent Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi. And if that's not enough, Robocop has also been added to the game, expanding Fortnite's seemingly limitless 'multiverse' potential.
Let us know in the comments if you're looking forward to showing off some Pac-Man gear in June!
