Namco have announced Pac-Man World 3 to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the series.
Pac-Man World 3 will include modern graphics, and -I'm not sure if there actually was a story behind the original game beyond eat the pellets, avoid the ghosts- an actual storyline:
In a mad search for power, evil genius Erwin creates a machine that can penetrate into the world of the Ghosts...the Spectral Realm! But now the Spectral Realm is collapsing into the real world, and this will bring about a massive catastrophe that will plunge the world into a state of devistation for years to come!
After mysteriously having been transported out of Pac-Village and into this strange and different land, it is up to Pac-Man to uncover Erwin's plot and save the world. Along the way, Pac-Man will meet a host of unexpected "old friends," and in order to defeat the ultimate enemy, he might just have to turn his old foes into allies!
