Bomberman’s 40th anniversary celebrations could begin very soon. Konami has revealed that Super Bomberman R 2 is coming to Switch on September 13th in North America and September 14th in Europe and Japan. Physical versions of the game will be available in North America a day early. (Thank you, Gematsu!)
Revealed last June, Super Bomberman R 2 is the sequel to 2017’s Super Bomberman R and is packed with explosive features — both old and new — so it promises to be fantastic content. The brand new Castle Mode allows you to attack or defend the castle, trying to steal or protect all the keys. You can even design your own castle stages and share them online.
The story mode also includes some base building mechanics, which will see Bomberman travel to a new planet and fight some pretty tough enemies. Plus, given all of Konami’s cameos over the years in Super Bomberman R (and Online), we’re pretty excited to see if there will be more in this sequel.
Here’s some more information about the game from its Steam page:
