Contra Operation Galuga Releases
LOS ANGELES – March 12th, in the year
of our Lord 2024 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
(KONAMI) The legendary soldiers have returned! KONAMI and
WayForward today announced that Contra: Operation Galuga, the
new entry in the groundbreaking Contra franchise, is now
available digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4,
PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The
action-packed co-op run-'n'-gun extravaganza is priced at $39.99
(less a 10% discount for early adopters) and rated T by the
ESRB.
A reloaded, reimagined, reborn update to the revolutionary
Contra NES/arcade game from the 1980s, Contra: Operation Galuga
redeploys players to the Galuga Archipelago, where they'll take
control of elite Contra commandos Bill Rizer and Lance Bean (as
well as other warriors) to battle the otherworldly Red Falcon
terrorist group. Using an assortment of iconic weapons such as
the Spread Shot, Laser Beam, and Homing Missiles, players will
run, jump, and shoot their way through burning jungles, frigid
mountains, a grotesque alien lair, and more. Character-specific
abilities, devastating Overload powers, and unyielding bosses
keep the action intense across Story Mode (1-2 players), Arcade
Mode (1-4 players), and Challenge Mode (1 player), while
variable difficulty settings and perks provide options for
gamers of all skill levels.
The timeless gameplay is reinvigorated for the modern era
through detailed, effects-laden graphics, a spectacular voice
cast (including Steve Blum as Bill Rizer, Alejandro Saab as
Lance Bean, Angelita Esperanza as Ariana, and Kira Buckland as
Lucia), and an explosive musical score. Beyond the main
soundtrack by Yuko Komiyama and Norihiko Hibino, players can
unlock several alternative soundtracks, including a "Retro
Remix" of classic Contra tunes featuring RichaadEB, Alex
Moukala, Jemy Hiiragi, Banjo Guy Ollie, Eirik Suhrke, and
BraveWave Productions artists including Evanescence's Tim
McCord. Both the original soundtrack and the Retro Remix are
available for download and streaming on digital music services.
