According to this Gamasutra report, original Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Hirokazu Yasuhara is working on a new Pac-Man title for the game's 30th anniversary in 2010.

"We are in the midst of making Pac-Man come back because his 30th anniversary is in 2010 actually," said Namco boss Makoto Iwai.

"As a group, we feel like we should do something to make him come back. So, there's one project that we started working on, and [Yasuhara is] part of it."

Though the whole of Namco's internal staff was previously working on Afro Samurai to help to complete it, the group has since split into several teams, with one of these working with Yasuhara on the new Pac-Man game.
