KONAMI announces that “Super Bomberman R Online” battle royale game will launch worldwide for PC, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X and Xbox One in 2021 as a free-to-play game.
▍Overview
“Super Bomberman R Online” was first released last year as a Stadia exclusive. It is a battle royale version of “Bomberman R,” which launched in March 2017 and has sold 2 million copies worldwide.
It allows players to compete online in 64-person matches in which the last Bomberman standing wins. 16 normal-sized battle stages are joined together by tunnels, with four players starting in each. Players can use the tunnels to travel between the stages in order to find and blow up their opponents.
There will also be a Premium Pass, which costs US$9.99 for you to unlock special outfits based on classic Konami games. These outfits include Naked Snake and Raiden from “Metal Gear Solid,” Pyramid Head and Robbie the Rabbit from “Silent Hill” and Simon, Richter and Alucard from “Castlevania”.
The Premium Pass also lets players create their own private rooms with unique rulesets, rather than simply having access to Battle 64 mode.
