Hudson Entertainment is developing a new Bomberman game for Xbox LIVE Arcade. The offering will retain the classic gameplay elements that defined the series while adding eight-person online multiplayer, character customization and high-definition graphics. Bomberman LIVE is expected to launch worldwide this summer.

The game is simple enough: from a top-down perspective, you compete against other players in a grid-like arena. Your one weapon is a bomb, which you can drop to clear out obstacles or to knock out your opponents. You can also pick up upgrades, which become available when you clear obstacles.
