E3 2019: New Contra Game Announced For Nintendo Switch At E3 2019

The Contra franchise returns this year with a new Nintendo Switch game called Contra Rogue Corps. Announced during Nintendo’s E3 2019 briefing, Rogues is a third-person, behind-the-shoulder title that also features moments that are presented from a top-down perspective and from the side. You can play solo or fight against other humans with online or local multiplayer.

The Contra series debuted all the way back in 1987, and since then Konami has continued to release new instalments, though releases have slowed in recent years. 2011’s Hard Corps: Uprising is the latest instalment in the series, serving as a prequel to Contra: Hard Corps for the Sega Genesis.

Contra Rogue Corps is due for release on September 24, 2019
