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.

SEGA

On April 1, SEGA Sammy intends to rebrand Index Digital Media as Atlus U.S.A., Inc. Atlus Co. will continue to handle a majority of game development.

Additionally, SEGA will split off a non-consumer game operation of Index into a new subsidiary known as “Index Corporation”. The company will be responsible for overseeing contents and solution businesses like internet marketing and systems development.

The new division, SEGA says, will “ensure synergy” across the SEGA and SEGA Sammy Group businesses. It will also increase growth of “transferring company’s business and to encourage the development of new” ones.
