News: We now know a release date for the next Puzzle Bobble game and it comes with optional virtual reality support.

Today, ININ Games announced the launch date for Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey, releasing exclusively for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. After the great reception of the digital version from Survios, the game will be released as a boxed version on September 9th via retailers around the world. The newest entry in the long-standing puzzle series is the first one with full 3D graphics and PS5 enhancements and is fully compatible with PSVR for even more immersive bubble-popping fun. Fans who buy the PS4 version will be able to download the PS5 version without additional costs. Additionally, as a special bonus, every PS5 copy of the game will come with a download code for the PS4 version, which is required to be able to play in VR.

Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey will be available for only 29,99 €/$ for either platform. A list of participating retailers can be found on the website, including Amazon in the US, while exclusive limited editions can be pre-ordered at Gamesrocket.

Bubble dragon brothers Bub and Bob are in for a surprise when their island vacation takes an unexpected turn into a bubble-popping adventure in Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey. You will explore lush tropical islands, peaceful lakesides, and even the pyramids while solving 100 new puzzles in Puzzle Bobble's first-ever 3D and optional VR experience, the next evolution of the classic Japanese puzzle-game franchise.

Some of the key features include:

100 New Puzzles: Brand new 3D puzzles with special bubbles, fun power-ups, and items add more depth and physics for a mind-bending challenge.

Full PSVR Support [optional]: Virtual reality transforms players into a bubble-popping dragon with a first-person perspective, and even physicalized interactions when paired with PlayStation Move controllers. You can switch seamlessly between playing on TV and VR.

Three distinct Puzzle Modes: Master the 100 progressively difficult puzzles in Story Mode, kick back and pop endless puzzles in Infinite Mode, or hop into online 1v1 Duel Mode, which supports matches across PS4, PS5, and PSVR.

Easy to Pick-Up-&-Play but Challenging to Master: Simple controls and intuitive game mechanics introduce puzzle popping in a fun, non-intimidating way.

Fantastic Tunes: Includes an all-new score by Zuntata, the composers for the original series.
