HUDSON SOFT is currently developing a new installment of the Bomberman franchise for the handheld system, a trademark IP that has sold more than 10 million units throughout the franchise’s history. HUDSON SOFT is also developing a new title in the 3 million-unit-selling sports-compilation franchise DECA SPORTS, along with a new game in the ball-rolling Kororinpa franchise.
