Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! launches in spring 2023

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble!

Publisher ININ Games and developer Taito announced a release window for Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! alongside new gameplay info.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is launching sometime in spring 2023 for Switch, via both the eShop and retail. Preorders are now live at participating retailers.


Here’s a rundown on the new info, plus its key visual reveal:

For the very first time in the history of the franchise, Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! will include a story mode playable with up to 4 players, and a 2 vs. 2 co-op battle mode.

For nostalgic fans of this timeless franchise, ININ decided to make the original SNES version of Puzzle Bobble (Japanese) and Bust-A-Move (US) also available separately for download, so that even those who purchased the retail edition have the chance to relive these endless gems.

The first 2 vs. 2 co-op game in the series! 

In the versus mode, players can play against either the computer or other players, and even send bubbles to their opponent’s board and disturb them by erasing or tearing off a large number of bubbles at once.

In this title, players can enjoy not only the traditional 1 vs. 1 battle but also, for the first time in the series, 2 vs. 2 cooperative battles between teams of two players, who can cooperate to erase each others awkward-to-aim-at bubbles and enjoy a more thrilling and faster-paced experience. Players can also play alone against the computer team, or team up with a friend to battle.

If you want to have a sneak peak of what this new feature looks like, check out TAITO’s  newly released video, featuring a two vs two co-op battle between the game’s developers and Bub, the game’s main character, and the newest Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! trailer (English subtitles available on YouTube).

Come on, Everybubble!

Yet another exciting detail we are honored to reveal: The official key visual has been released, and it features Bub, Bob, Peb, and Pab against the backdrop of Rainbow Islands – setting of this new chapter of the series – together with Miniroon, a mysterious key character similar to Bub, and Bonner, who has appeared as an antagonist in the series since the first “Bubble Bobble“, “Puzzle Bobble” and other games.

Here’s a new trailer for the August-announced game:
