Super Bomberman R 2 coming out in September, and it’ll have cross-play
Konami has opened up pre-orders for Super Bomberman R 2, the trailer showcasing all of the main battle modes that will feature, with standard battles, Grand Prix, Battle 64 and the new 16 v 1 Castle Mode. Cross-play has also been confirmed for all these online multiplayer modes.
Super Bomberman R 2 is coming out on 12th September physically and 13th September digitally across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Find all the chests and you win, but if even one chest is kept safe by the Castle side, then the defenders win. You’ll be able to create your own original stages for Castle Mode and share them online.
For solo players, the Story Mode will combine exploration, building, attack & defence and boss battles.
