Since the mobile title's initial launch, there have been a couple of Contra games for PCs and consoles including 2019's Contra Anniversary Collection and the run-and-gun shooter Contra: Rogue Corps. TiMi, which recently struck a gaming partnership with Xbox, previously tweeted that it was planning a wider rollout for the game. Its success led to a Taiwanese release and an English-language version for Southeast Asia. At the end of the clip, there's a snippet of the frenetic, industrial shooter gameplay.Ĭontra Returns originally launched in China back in 2017.
Basically, all the ingredients you'd expect from a fan-made Contra movie. There's also plenty of camo and slo-mo strutting thrown in for good measure. To give you a taster of the mayhem that awaits, Konami has released a live-action trailer that's equal parts apocalyptic destruction, sweaty machismo and gun fetishism. New and returning characters include grizzled commandos Bill Rizer and Lance Bean, Sheena from Contra 4, Lucia from Contra: Shattered Soldier, a bear and a werewolf named Brad Fang. The mobile entry also features new storylines and over 200 total levels, along with updated graphics. The shooter sees the series' iconic heroes back to fight an alien enemy as part of a new side-scrolling adventure. Contra Returns - a free-to-play mobile game jointly created by Konami and Tencent's TiMi Studios back in 2017 - is heading to North America on July 26th along with the UK, Europe and Latin America.
