In the UK last night, Bandai Namco used some of the most powerful projectors in the world to promote Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures.

Those who were driving along the M4 on Monday may have noticed that Pac-Man was standing 80 feet tall and plastered across the iconic SEGA building in Chiswick, West London. Sonic the Hedgehog was featured in conjunction with the promo to celebrate Ghostly Adventures’ launch.

But just a few minutes after the projection began, Bandai Namco says the plug was pulled “when security guards were alerted by local authorities as this was a stunt clearly designed to shock, delight and decorate Sega’s impressive building that graces West London.”

PR and marketing director for Bandai Namco Games UK Lee Kirton commented:

“We wanted to be cheeky, create some fun, but obviously do it quietly. Something that’s hard to do in the game’s industry, but slightly easier at midnight. We hope Sega aren’t offended, more delighted.”

An interesting – if not strange – series of events.

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures launches in the UK on March 7.

Ubisoft has thrown around Japan as one possible locale for Assassin’s Creed. However, don’t expect Assassin’s Creed V to take place in that setting.

Ubisoft Toronto executive Jade Raymond confirmed to Adweek that the upcoming title won’t be Japan-based. Additionally, Raymond teased that it will feature her favorite historical era. No additional details were provided.

David Cox, producer of the Castlevania: Lords of Shadows series, believes that the days of 2D Castlevania games are gone.

Cox told GamesTM this month that even though hardcore gamers would appreciate a new 2D Castlevania, “the reality is that it’s a very niche market and Konami really want this series to be mainstream again.” He wouldn’t rule out a new 2D title completely, though it wouldn’t come from MercurySteam.

You can find Cox’s full comments below.

Video game stamps are something that could happen in 2016, based on a leaked January 2014 stamp subjects document. We’ve yet to see any sort of designs and the lineup of subjects included in the file could change at any time, but it’s something that’s under consideration at the very least. If approved, the stamp would celebrate the term “Video Games” in some fashion.
