Tuesday 28 Aug 2007

Hudson has announced that the first add-on pack for Bomberman Live will arrive on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday. Titled Bomb-Up Pack 1, the new add-on pack will feature new content including ten new characters, two additional levels, two new leaderboards as well as a new game mode. It will set you back 250 Microsoft Points.

High Stakes and Zeppelin

Prepare for more explosive fun in new areas such as Las Vegas-style casino level ‘High Stakes’ that allows players to set gimmicks and on board a zeppelin featuring tornado environmental hazards titled ‘Zeppelin.’ The add-on features ten new characters including a bunny called Little Bomby Foo Foo and a boxer known as Rocky Bomboa. Creative players can once again customize their in-game Bomberman.

New to the game is Frag mode which allows players to pre-set the number of enemies they need to bomb to win. The add-on also includes two new leaderboards which allow players to track performance on a weekly and all-time basis for the new ‘Zeppelin’ map.

Fast paced multiplayer game play

“With the overwhelming success of Bomberman LIVE it became clear to us, as Bomberman fans and game producers, that the already stellar game could be indefinitely augmented with myriad gameplay additions in the future, said John Greiner, President and CEO of Hudson Entertainment. “Hudson is committed to providing refreshingly competitive, fast-paced multiplayer gameplay over Xbox LIVE Arcade.”
