The Bubble Bobble franchise made its triumphant return in 2019s Bubble Bobble 4 Friends. Initially releasing exclusively on Nintendo Switch, 4 Friends received incredibly positive reception, reviewing very well. 4 Friends landed on Playstation 4 shortly after, in 2020. Taito’s iconic Bubble Dragons are now floating their way onto PC later this year, via Steam.
The announcement comes via Square Enix Presents, as well as a YouTube video on the official Bubble Bobble channel, hosted by director Tsuyoshi Tozak.
The Bubble Bobble series bursts back onto the stage, with a wholly new entry for the first time in 24 years! Face off against a wide range of new bosses in new environments, with revamped bubble-blowing gameplay.
Taito proudly announced that Bubble Bobble 4 Friends was a bursting success! The Nintendo Switch version received an overall great reception. Our review praised Taito for doing a retro revival incredibly well. Following its success on Switch, Taito released a PlayStation 4 port. This coincided with the “The Baron Is Back” update, which added in an all-new area featuring Baron von Blubba himself. This area allows 1 to 4 players to take on bubble-immune skel-monster in an additional 100 levels.
While today’s announcement doesn’t offer up a release date, the Steam store page is officially open for wishlisting. For more information on Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, visit Taito’s official website.
