The in-game event is available now and will run through September 15, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update adds a new Hunter Mode that changes the race objective from fastest finish to pellet collection. Players drive along tracks collecting Pac-Dots and Power Pellets placed on the course while being pursued by Ghost-inspired cars. Picking up a Power Pellet reverses the temporary roles and allows players to chase the Ghost cars instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2090468907236708394\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>\n            <noscript>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/user\/status\/2090468907236708394\" target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\n                    View this tweet on Twitter\n                <\/a>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/blockquote>\n        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n    \n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four Ghosts from PAC-MAN-Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde-appear as named opponent vehicles. In Hunter Mode, race scoring and progression depend on the number of pellets collected, along with standard race results. When multiple Ghost cars target a player, pursuit and blocking can occur on sections of the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The season includes PAC-MAN-themed vehicle skins, user interface and heads-up display changes, and new sound effects tied to the theme. Highlight vehicles in the event include the Porsche 718 Cayman PAC-MAN Edition, plus the TVR Griffith, Nissan R390 GT1 and Arrinera Hussarya 33. The event is presented as a PAC-MAN Spotlight with exclusive rewards linked to Pixel Pursuit progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PAC-MAN is a long-running arcade character owned by Bandai Namco. Asphalt Legends is a racing title from Gameloft that frequently schedules limited-time themed seasons and special events. The Pixel Pursuit Season integrates pellet collection and temporary power-up mechanics into the game&#8217;s multiplayer track races.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gameloft\u2019s Asphalt Legends has launched Pixel Pursuit Season with PAC-MAN-themed Hunter Mode, where Ghost-inspired cars chase players.
