None

The world’s first ever Pac-Man World Championship will take place from April 25 through May 9 on Xbox Live Arcade.

The Championship, presented by Quiznos, will allow players to compete for a spot among nine finalists who will be flown to New York City for the June 5 championship tournament. The winner will be crowned Pac-Man World Champion by Toru Iwatani, the creator of Pac-Man, and will receive 26 years of free Quiznos subs (one each week), 100,000 Marketplace points, and a uniquely designed Pac-Man Xbox 360.

“Namco Bandai Games and I are proud to partner with Microsoft on the Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship, which celebrates how popular Pac-Man remains to this day,” commented Iwatani. “The success of Pac-Man stems from its fun gameplay and host of characters that have been enjoyed by families for generations. It will be exciting to see Pac-Man fans from around the world compete on Xbox Live Arcade to become the first-ever Pac-Man World Champion.”
