Konami Cross Media NY have signed licensing agreements with Blacklist Games and IDW Games for the vintage video game titles Contra and Bomberman, according to License Global.
Blacklist Games and the Kess Co. will develop a cooperative board game based on ‘Contra’ for the North American market. The title, planed for 2020, will be a card-driven miniature game.
IDW Games have licensed the global game, puzzle and collectible pin rights for Bomberman. A board game is expected to launch later this year.
“Super Bomberman R’s epic battling and colorful characters translate well into the multi-player board game we’ve envisioned,” said Jerry Bennington, vice president, new product development, IDW games.
