Ten months after its initial reveal, Konami’s Super Bomberman R sequel has a release date, and is launching digitally for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC on 13th September.
Like its 2017 predecessor, Super Bomberman R 2 serves up a sizeable mix of single-player and multiplayer modes inspired by Konami’s classic bomb-dropping arcade series.
This time around, lone players can test their mettle in the appropriately titled Solo-Bomb mode, which takes them on a story driven jaunt through space as they explore planets, using their bombs to destroy objects and annihilate enemies.
Multiplayer, meanwhile, comes in a number of different flavours; there’s classic Standard mode for up to 16 players (with both individual and team-based variants included), plus Grand Prix mode, where two teams of up to three players can compete in either Basic Bomber and Crystals matches – the latter granting victory to the side that collects the most crystals during play.
