The June 2022 Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase put the spotlight on upcoming Switch titles from third-party developers. This included Konami, as the studio stopped by to reveal the latest entry in its Super Bomberman series. Super Bomberman R 2 is the next game in the franchise, and is set to be released in 2023.

The Super Bomberman R 2 trailer was dropped in the recent Nintendo Direct Mini and gives us our first glimpse into the next chapter in this saga. A sequel to 2017’s Super Bomberman R, the new installment finds the eight Bomberman brothers working together to defeat a new foe. The trailer also reveals new features, such as Castle, the new battle mode. Konami provided additional details about Super Bomberman R 2 in a press release.

Super Bomberman R 2 also features a brand new story mode, which the developer says is packed with “exciting new adventures.” The game will also include a battle royale mode that supports up to 64 players facing off.

Super Bomberman R 2 was featured alongside several other games at the June 2022 Nintendo Direct Mini. This included titles like Dragon Quest Treasures and Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection.
