It was released in November 2019 in Europe and in Japan on February 27, 2020, and was released North America on March 31, 2020.

A PlayStation 4 port released on November 17, 2020, along with an update featuring the return of Skel-Monsta (known as Baron von Blubba in the English release of the game) entitled Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron is Back! (バブルボブルフォーフレンズ すかるもんすたの逆襲 Baburu Boburu Fō Furenzu Sukaru Monsuta no Gyakushū?, "Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: Skel-Monsta's Counterattack")

A Steam version of the game was released on September 30, 2021, which includes a built in level editor that includes Steam Workshop support as well as all previous DLC called Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron's Workshop (バブルボブル フォー フレンズ すかるもんすたとワークショップ Baburu Boburu Fō Furenzu Sukaru Monsuta to Wākushoppu?, "Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: Skel-Monsta and Workshop")

ININ Games describes the story of this game: "One night, a child’s room became enfolded by a miraculous light and every object under its rays suddenly came to life - including the child's most favorite toy, the little dragon called Bub. Full of jealousy, the wicked magician Bonner challenges the friendly dragon to battle."
