Super Bomberman R 2 announced

Many titles don’t appeal to everyone when a console is released. When the Nintendo Switch dropped, everyone put all their time into Breath Of The Wild. I sunk a lot of hours into Super Bomberman R. It was a good return of the blue bomber that had some work to be done. It made that list for me every gamer has of “if this gets a sequel and they make some corrections, we have something here!” Today, I got my wish as Konami confirmed Super Bomberman R 2!

The sequel was revealed during a third-party-focused Nintendo Direct with a trailer that showed off a new story, single-player content, multiplayer gameplay Bomberman fans love, and a new multiplayer mode called Castle mode! You can watch the reveal trailer below. 

It’s magnificent to see Super Bomberman R 2 when I thought the new series was dead. Super Bomberman R Online is ceasing play later this year. Many assumed that meant the death knell for the R series. But it looks like Konami still has confidence in the new iteration. I’m curious to play Castle mode in action. That looks like one of the freshest innovations to Bomberman multiplayer in a long time. 

Super Bomberman R 2 launches in 2023 for Nintendo Switch, PS4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Steam. We will update readers in the future on the exact announcement date. Are you excited to see the R series get another shot? Let us know in the comments below!
