Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. is heating up springtime in Boston with can't miss activations at PAX East, including a brand-new demo for FromSoftware, Inc.'s hotly anticipated next game, ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN. The demo will feature large in an immersive theater on the show floor, where popular content creators will enlist players to take on the game's challenging three-player co-op action, and if successful win prizes for everyone the audience. SHADOW LABYRINTH, the 2D action platformer with a surprising Sci-Fi take on the iconic PAC-MAN, will also be at the show as part of the panel "A Platform for Adventure: Metroidvania Game Makers Roundtable." Organized by Bandai Namco, the panel brings together developers, and (subject matter expert) Jeremy Parish as moderator to discuss the resurgence of the genre.

PAX East 2025 takes place May 8 - 11 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is located at the Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. booth (#16055). SHADOW LABYRINTH will be on the panel "A Platform for Adventure: Metroidvania Game Makers Roundtable" taking place at 2:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 10, at the Albatross Theater. For show information, visit: www.bandainamcoent.com/events/pax-east.




ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a standalone PvE co-op action game set in the same universe as the bestselling action RPG ELDEN RING. This entirely new experience thrusts players into a harsh and unforgiving world, where they team up in squads of three to explore across a changing map and outlast a three day-and-night cycle to take on terrifying bosses known as Nightlords. PAX East attendees will have a chance to experience this game in a once-in-a-lifetime event, entering an immersive dome theater and participating in demos that will pair members of the audience with popular content creators. Seasoned Souls-like players Distortion2, Oroboro, LilAggy, Larxa, and Parkenharbor will enlist one lucky player for each demo session as they vie for prizes for everyone in attendance, while epic shout casters Jake Lyon and Shyowager amplify the action. ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN theater demos will run every hour at the Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. booth (16055); attendees will need to come to the booth to register for free to receive tickets with showtimes.


SHADOW LABYRINTH is part of the panel "A Platform for Adventure: Metroidvania Game Makers Roundtable." Join experts who know what makes a great Metroidvania because they're making them. Developers James Montagna, Director at WayForward Technologies, Inc. (Yars Rising), James Petruzzi, President at Bit Kid, Inc., (Chasm, WOLFHOUND), and Seigo Aizawa, Producer at Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. (SHADOW LABYRINTH) joins moderator Jeremy Parish, Media Curator at Limited Run Games and prolific author of books on classic games. The group will delve into their inspirations for making Metroidvania games and uncover why this genre is back—and should have never gone away. The panel takes place at 2:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 10, at the Albatross Theater. Attendees will get a SHADOW LABYRINTH "dark PAC-MAN" themed collectible item while supplies last.


ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is slated for release on May 30 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
