Originally released in arcades and on NES, Contra is all about nonstop action and intense firepower as you (and a friend) run, jump, and shoot your way past a relentless enemy army. In early 2024, the series is reborn as Contra: Operation Galuga! #ContraOGkonami.com/games/contra/og/u…
We've intercepted a top-secret communique from Red Falcon high command: "Whatever you do, do not allow the Contra Unit to enter the code: UUDDLRLRBA. Ensure the exact situation remains confidential." #Contra: Operation Galuga is out now on consoles and PC! konami.com/games/contra/og/
The art of #ContraOG
Next in line for the design show is the one and only, Bill Rizer!
Several styles were considered for Bill's design in ContraOG,
including realism, 80's city pop anime, manga.. and more.

It all started 37 years ago today! Before the home versions, Bill and Lance blasted into battle with the launch of the original Contra arcade game, featuring awesome weapons and 2P co-op! The game delivered action unlike anything else of its day and defined the run-'n'-gun genre.
Today's concept art is of our beloved bandana hero, Lance!
We thought long and hard about who and what 'Lance' should embody in the new game.
We hope you were able to get a glimpse into the development process for our characters✏️
