Konami have announced that Contra is back, with the folks at WayForward taking control of the series for a second time to bring the original NES and Arcade release to modern platforms, check out the debut trailer below.

In Contra: Operation Galuga up to two players can team up for co-op combat in Story Mode, and up to four players can join forces in Arcade Mode, as they run, jump, and shoot their way through eight stages, including the jungle, the waterfall, and a hovercycle ride through an enemy base. Iconic weapons such as the spread shot, laser, and homing missiles return — now with the ability to stack two weapons of the same type for increased firepower — plus surplus weapons can be sacrificed to unleash awesome Overload abilities. The intense action will be enjoyed by Contra veterans and newcomers alike, thanks to three difficulty settings plus a variety of additional challenge options.

The game will launch for all platforms, so Switch, PC, PlayStation and Xbox next year, with the console versions getting both a digital and physical release.
