More Details About blink-182 x PAC-MAN Are Coming Soon
Bandai Namco Entertainment America and legendary punk rock band blink-182 have officially unveiled a new collaboration centered around PAC-MAN, bringing together two pop culture icons for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The partnership celebrates the 25th anniversary of blink-182’s iconic 2001 album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket with an exclusive lineup of collectibles, merchandise, and an interactive fan experience.
Fans attending San Diego Comic-Con 2026, which runs from July 23 to July 26, can visit the blink-182 x PAC-MAN booth (#1415) at the San Diego Convention Center. The arcade-inspired booth combines classic nostalgia with the band’s signature style, featuring custom arcade cabinets, animated artwork of the band, and a claw machine filled with plush toys and blink-182-themed prizes.
The collaboration also introduces several Comic-Con-exclusive collectibles. Highlights include a limited-edition numbered blink-182 x PAC-MAN vinyl produced by Blood Records, featuring “The Rock Show” and “First Date,” along with a special blink-182 version of the PAC-MAN x 7-Eleven T-shirt famously worn by bassist Mark Hoppus during Coachella 2023. The shirt has since become a memorable symbol of the band’s playful personality and love for nostalgic pop culture.
Visitors will also have the chance to meet PAC-MAN and Bunny during scheduled appearances throughout the event. Bandai Namco and blink-182 have confirmed that additional limited-edition merchandise and collaboration details will be revealed as Comic-Con continues.
First released as an arcade game, the title remains one of gaming’s most recognizable franchises, continuing to inspire new games, merchandise, and collaborations decades after its debut.
It’s an unexpected crossover, but one that perfectly blends music, gaming, and nostalgia into a celebration fans of both icons won’t want to miss.
