If you were a sucker for TV video games back in the day, I’m sure you have played the classic run-and-gun game Contra. The arcade-based title developed by Konami was an amazing title you could enjoy playing with your loved ones or go for a solo adventure. Well now, you will be able to enjoy the game on your Android and iOS devices. Konami has partnered with Tencent to release it for mobile devices.
Konami, the original developer and the publisher of the title, first collaborated with the Chinese giant Tencent to develop a mobile version of Contra back in 2016. Dubbed as Contra Returns, the title was developed by Tencent’s TiMi Studios and was released in China in 2017.
As you can see, Contra Returns will be similar to its Chinese counterpart and will bring the classic, arcade-like gameplay to your mobile device. Although there are additional characters, the game features the powerful Contra background score and the iconic Contra heroes Bill Rizer and Lance Bean to an iOS or an Android device near you.
The game is currently available for pre-order on iOS and is open for pre-registration on Android devices via the Google Play Store. Pre-registered players will also get special in-game rewards when the game goes live next month. It will launch in the North American region on July 26.
