Free-to-play game Super Bomberman R Online will have to drop the last word of its name as it's announced the title will be taken offline from 1st December 2022. Konami confirmed the news on its official website, where it's said the servers are being taken down "due to various circumstances". To reflect this decision, Bomber Coins and Premium Packs have already been pulled off sale.
Although, this isn't the end for the Bomberman series in general. The blog post concludes by claiming the franchise is still moving forward with new projects, which Konami hopes to inform us of in the near future. "Thank you for your continued support of the 'Bomberman' series," the publisher says.
Not to be confused with the standard Super Bomberman R, this free-to-play version supports up to 64 players online where you must outlive every other user in the game in a Battle Royale format. Have you taken the game for a spin recently? Pay your respects in the comments below.

They should change the name to “Super Bomberman R OFFLINE” amirite?
Well that was a disaster.
PS3's Bomberman Ultra still blows this thing out of the water.
Hope they have Bomberman R2 on the way.
@Luminous117 It was fun but the long waiting between games killed it for me. Longer than the actual matches it felt like at times.
@lolwhatno I'm not sure if that bothered them since Metal Gear Survive is still chugging along.
I really enjoyed the story mode in Bomberman R but never touched the online, guess, going by this, i'm not alone lol.
Is this what will happen to all of the live service ps games that fail , last about a year then disappear because of 'circumstances'
The problem that they want you to pay high price for everything from the beginning.
They didn't start slowly like rocket league or fornite.
If the update super bomberman R including this royal battle mode.
i believe they would succeed, because we have story mode and online mode and battle royal mode for free.
but no.
