Konami and renowned developer WayForward have dropped a new gameplay trailer for Contra: Operation Galuga, the latest in the legendary line of 2D action side-scrollers. This trailer shows off six of the playable heroes of the Earth Marine Corps, including Bill Rizer, Lance Bean, Ariana, Lucia, Lt. Stanley Ironside, and Probotector. Contra: Operation Galuga is due out in early 2024 for PC (via Steam), Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
