This year marks Bomberman’s 40th anniversary. The character was frequently portrayed as a playful protagonist in some of the first games from the late 1980s. Don’t be fooled by its cute iconic antenna and expressive eyes; Despite his seemingly harmless appearance, he has never shied away from a bomb battle.
Bomberman and the numerous characters introduced throughout the franchise since then have made a nuclear impact on the video game world, earning the admiration of millions of gamers around the world.
We’re proud to announce that we’ll be expanding this fall with the release of Bomberman’s rich legacy Super Bomberman R2. The latest entry in the franchise features a brand new story complemented by most of the Bomberman R-series game modes, along with some of the most iconic game modes comes a brand new combat mode: Castle.
Defend the castle
The flagship mode of Super Bomberman R2, Castle, introduces a unique attack and defense gameplay to the series. This new mode offers a new way to play online battles as players have control over how they build defenses on the stage.
Castle mode divides teams into an attacking side, consisting of 15 players, and a castle side tasked with defending the treasure chests placed around the stage. Securing treasure chests guarded by a single defender seems like a tall order, but the player defending the castle can fight in custom stages, placing traps, obstacles, and other gimmicks to hinder the attackers.
They also have offensive abilities, like the “Weapon,” a powerful armament that blasts away approaching enemies, and can be combined with well-known bombs to settle the score in classic fashion.
Meet the adorable Ellons
Super Bomberman R2 also introduces fans to the Ellons – adorable intergalactic beings that come in different shapes and sizes to defend the treasure in castle mode. Some Ellons blast fire at the attacking side, while others freeze them in place. A rock-hard Ellon-type becomes a formidable obstacle for the attacking side to avoid. Regardless of the method used to stop the attack, the Ellons are a great new companion that you’ll quickly fall in love with.
Take To The Stage (Editor)
Stage Editor, the latest feature provided with Super Bomberman R2, will surely please the creative minds out there. Players can create battle stages from a variety of terrains for Castle mode. Any stage created in Stage Editor can be shared online for other players to try. The freedom to create new levels and explore those created by other players will be limitless!
We can’t wait to see what the players themselves will add to the Bomberman legacy through this powerful new tool.
Super Bomberman R2 is available to pre-order now from the Microsoft Store for Xbox ahead of its digital release on September 13th. Be among the first to build and share stages for the world to enjoy! For more details see Konami website.
