SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE SEASON 3 BLASTS OFF WITH NEW ‘BOMBER’ FROM SUIKODEN SERIES
Konami Digital Entertainment, B.V. today announced the start of Season 3 in SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE, which is available now, free-to-play across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, and Google Stadia. This new season will see the introduction of Suikoden 2 Hero Bomber, based on Riou from the fan favourite Suikoden series.
Suikoden 2 Hero Bomber is a Bomberman that leads the New State Army fighting against Highland on Planet Dunan. Through countless encounters and partings, he overcame a life of adversity with 107 allies to become the hero that he is today. In SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE, he will have the ‘Twin Fang’ ability, which will blast nearby characters and bombs away with a tonfa.
In addition to Suikoden 2 Hero Bomber, Season 3 will be kicking off with a new ‘Mighty Fest’ event that will take place in the Power
Zone stage. In this event, players’ firepower and number of plantable bombs are maxed out from the start!
Finally, purchasing the Season 3 Gold Battle Pass will activate an EXP Bonus feature that will allow users to be able to earn 30% extra EXP by playing quick matches up until the end of the season. New maps are also being prepared for SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE’s Battle 64 mode, so stay tuned!
About SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE:
Previously launched on Stadia, SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE takes inspiration from the popularity of Super Bomberman R, bringing back the 8 Bomber Brothers and others as a 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.
SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE brings more than 100 customisable feature combinations, 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 (RRP €9.99/£9.99/$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.
