Bubble Bobble is an iconic cult game and is considered the most popular and innovative platformer of the ’80s. The twins Bub and Bob set out to free their girlfriends from the hands of the nasty baron, who also enchanted them into bubble dragons. As such, the brothers hop through the differently arranged platforms of the 100 colourful levels and shoot bubbles at numerous enemies. In the '80s and '90s, players jumped solo or in two-player co-op mode through the levels. Bubble Bobble's success has seen it ported to more than 20 different platforms in recent decades, including the C64, Sega Mega Drive and NES Classic Mini.

One night, a child’s room became enfolded by a miraculous light and every object under its rays suddenly came to life - including the child's most favorite toy, the little dragon called Bub.

Full of jealousy, the wicked magician Baron von Blubba challenges the friendly dragon to battle.

PS4 owners can look forward to the digital  debut release of Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron is Back! which is bigger, better, with more features for PS4 and Nintendo fans to revel in. 

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron is Back! will be available digitally and in physical editions in America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand on 17th November 2020.
