Konami promises Amazing Bomberman will offer users easy to play online battles, with the game catering to both solo players and those that want to battle it out with friends (which can be done through the aptly named "friend battle" mode).

There will also be a series of collectible items available that players will be able to customise.

As for the game's soundtrack, Konami states this will be a "fusion of Bomberman and originally composed music".

Earlier this year, the developer announced its plans to pull the plug on Super Bomberman R Online, with the service due to go offline on 1st December.

Konami did not go into the specifics of why it made this decision, only citing "various circumstances" as the catalyst for the closure.
