To mark the release of Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary on 24 July 2025, two further 'Master Challenge' qualifier tournaments will be held at the Computerspielemuseum in Berlin and the GAMM Museum in Rome on this day.
BBG Entertainment has announced two further 'Master Challenge' qualifier tournaments, which will be held on 24 July 2025 at the Computerspielemuseum Berlin and the GAMM Museum Rome (registration for the tournament). These tournaments are being held to coincide with the global release of Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary. The best players will secure their places at the Boulder Dash World Cup in Cologne on 23 August. Adam Strzelczyk has already qualified by winning the Pixel Heaven Festival tournament in Warsaw on 7 June 2025 and will now represent Poland at the World Cup during gamescom.
Martin Görlich, Managing Director Computerspielemuseum Berlin: "Boulder Dash created its own genre and shaped an entire generation – it is an honour to celebrate this iconic game tournament at our Computer Game Museum Berlin and to bring new and old fans together."
Marco Accordi Rickards, Director of the GAMM Museum in Rome: "The fact that the World Cup qualifiers are taking place simultanenously in Berlin and Rome shows the international appeal this game still has after 40 years. We are delighted to be part of this anniversary with GAMM."
Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary is set to launch on 24 July 2025, with a price tag of €19.99 for PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Switch and Xbox. BBG Entertainment: "We pursued two goals: Firstly, we wanted to bring the first three parts Boulder Dash I, II and III to life as faithfully as possible on current machines. Secondly, we wanted to spice up the classic gameplay with contemporary visuals and suitable new ideas such as growing walls, slime, an enemy generator, eggs and other things. All in all Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary is certainly the most comprehensive game in the series of all time: The first three games in the original Commodore and Atari look, more than hundred of brand new levels in a new look, and all tested and approved by the best Boulder Dash players worldwide. On top we have integrated a level editor which allows the users to create, play and share all these levels to Boulder Dash players worldwide plus stunning music and sounds from Chris Huelsbeck."
