In May 2021, Konami was released Super Bomberman R Online on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. Just over a year later, the publisher announced that support for the game will end this year. The free game will be available until December 1, but the sale of Bomber Coins and Premium Packs is now over. Players will still be able to redeem purchased Bomber Coins until the end of the service, but anyone still planning to purchase in-game skins is now out of luck. Konami announced the move in a post on the game Official Website.
“This service has continued to operate with the support of many users since its launch in May 2021, but due to various circumstances, we have decided to end the service on all platforms on December 1, 2022 at 01:00:00 (UTC),” the post reads.
Super Bomberman R Online It was timed exclusively on Google Stadia before receiving a cross-platform version last year. Bomber Coins allowed players to unlock different skins based on Konami’s franchises, including Old Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series. Given the frenetic multiplayer action that Bomberman is known for, it’s surprising that the game wasn’t able to last much longer, but Konami’s post promises that “the series is moving forward with new projects.” Hopefully, Bomberman fans won’t wait too long before the series returns.
Of course, Konami’s interest in the video game industry has waned significantly over the past few years. The company has not completely given up on game development, but it has shifted its focus to other areas of its business. The company continues to produce a number of collections featuring old games, but not so much in the way of new ones. As a result, franchises such as Silent Hill, Castlevania, and Metal Gear Solid were abandoned. It would be a shame to see Bomberman suffer the same fate, but today’s post leaves some hope that isn’t the case!
