Konami Digital Entertainment Limited have announced the availability of SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam as a free to play, digital download exclusive. Play the 8 Bomber Brothers and others in this 64-player online battle royale!
As Bomberman returns with the gameplay that has made the franchise a party game classic – blast through battlefields, find hidden power-ups and use them to blow away foes – the action in SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE erupts to new heights with the “Battle 64” mode. Delivering an original battle royale experience, up to 64 players are spread across 16 starting battlefields. As levels are cleared and players are whittled down, the number of battlefields continue to shrink until the ultimate final battle to be the last bomber standing.
More than 100 customisable feature combinations are available, including numerous costumes, accessories and for the first time, bomb skins – affecting both the bomb and the blast itself. Players can further discern themselves from the rest with the optional Premium Pack (USD $9.99), giving access to 14 additional bomber characters that pay homage to classic KONAMI IP’s such as Gradius, Silent Hill, Castlevania and more!
While anyone in the world can jump into a “Battle 64” room, the Premium Pack allows players to create their own private Room Match with rulesets that include “Battle 64” mode, “Standard” mode with up to 16 players or “Grand Prix”. Grand Prix divides players into two teams of up to 3v3 to compete in earning points, with the highest total points after the two battle rounds wins.
Elsewhere, the cumulative global sales of previous title Super Bomberman R has exceeded 2 million! KONAMI will be hosting a commemorative campaign to celebrate the milestone, with details to arrive soon.
The exact launch date will be revealed at a later time. Find out more about the game at the official website.
