A new trailer has been released to celebrate, which you can watch above.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;duck-on-duck destruction game&#8221; is inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_bomberman_r\"><strong>Bomberman<\/strong><\/a> and features both a single-player campaign mode and plenty of multiplayer action. In the campaign, you can expect to battle your way through 10 worlds, all while fighting off rival Ponpu and enormous bosses.<\/p>\n<p>When you want a change of pace, you can play against others in either local or online multiplayer. There are three modes to choose from here: Coin Chase (where you&#8217;ll need to grab coins before your opponents); Color Fight (a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/splatoon_2\"><strong>Splatoon<\/strong><\/a>-like mode where you need to cover the most ground with your colour); and Deathmatch, which is pretty self-explantory.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The all-seeing Duck God has had enough and the world has run out of time. Every 2 billion years the world must be refreshed through divine destruction and he has sent you, a Ponpu, as his herald. But, a nasty bump on the head during a crash landing took your memory and now you find yourself working against the Duck God in a carnage-fueled battle against other Ponpu to save the very world you were sent to destroy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"Ponpu\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fa51ba21b5db8\/ponpu.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fa51ba21b5db8\/ponpu.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" alt=\"Ponpu\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>We&#8217;re quite liking the art style on display here and the gameplay does sound like it has a lot of potential.
