Maruchan is powering up snack time with the launch of a limited-edition Maruchan Instant Lunch Chicken flavor, featuring PAC-MAN packaging that brings the excitement of the classic game from the screen to the ramen cup.
The limited-time packaging brings PAC-MAN’s playful world to life through vibrant graphics inspired by the original game and the latest release of PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC.

“As two Japanese brands that celebrate play, whether it’s chasing ghosts in PAC-MAN or experimenting with flavors in the kitchen, we wanted to give shoppers a fun, flavorful experience they can share across generations,” said Katelyn Stokes, Marketing Director at Maruchan. “This limited-edition packaging delivers a bold pop of nostalgia and character to the ramen aisle, making every bowl a little more playful.”
“This partnership is a natural fit between two iconic brands that are instantly recognizable and rooted in fun,” said Susan Tran, Sr. Director of Brand Development for PAC-MAN at Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. “With our recent launch of PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC, bringing back the fan favorite game as a remake, it’s the perfect time to partner with a beloved brand like Maruchan.
