Konami has announced “Super Bomberman R2”, the official successor to the Free2Play game “Super Bomberman R”.

The game will be released for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. “Super Bomberman R2” offers a variety of online and offline modes in which players can duel each other. In addition to the game modes known from the predecessor such as “Standard”, “Grand Prix” and “Battle 64”, there is also a new battle mode called “Castle”. Here the players are divided into an attacker and a defender side, who compete against each other and fight for valuable treasures.

Another new feature is the level editor, with which players can design their own levels for the “Castle” mode and share their creations with other players worldwide. To ensure that there are always enough players available, “Super Bomberman R2” will support the cross-play feature, which enables cross-system multiplayer lobbies.

In addition to the multiplayer modes, “Super Bomberman R2” also offers a story mode in which players can travel to new planets and take up the fight against a dark threat together with the Ellons, Bomberman’s loyal friends.

Japanese publisher Konami promises the “most extensive content in the history of the series to date” for “Super Bomberman R2”. A new trailer has been released that goes into a little more detail about the content on offer. The game will be available in North America from 13 September 2023, in Europe and Japan one day later.
