Stadia’s 64-player Super Bomberman R Online is coming to PC

The Stadia exclusive Super Bomberman R Online is set to be released on PC.

As reported by Twisted Voxel, a rating for a previously unannounced PC version recently appeared on the ESRB website, suggesting a release is imminent.

The original version of Super Bomberman R was released in March 2017 as a Switch launch title. The first new Bomberman in six years, it was eventually ported to the Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2018.

Super Bomberman R Online is a special enhanced version of the game which was released last year as a Stadia exclusive.

It features a new Battle 64 mode, which is an online battle royale for up to 64 players. 16 normal-sized battle stages are joined together by tunnels, with four players starting in each. Players can use the tunnels to travel between the stages in order to find and blow up their opponents.

The Stadia version is free to play for anyone, regardless of whether players have signed up to the Stadia Pro subscription service.

Stadia players can then buy a £9.99 Premium Pass to unlock special Bombermen dressed up as Konami characters, including Naked Snake and Raiden from Metal Gear Solid, Pyramid Head and Robbie the Rabbit from Silent Hill and Simon, Richter and Alucard from Castlevania.

It’s not yet clear whether the PC version will also be free-to-play and include the bonus characters as DLC.
