Konami Returns to ‘Contra’ Series With ‘Contra: Operation Galuga’ for the Switch in 2024 [Trailer]
Konami is trying once again with the Contra series in a reimagining of the one that started it all. Contra: Operation Galuga was revealed today during the Nintendo Direct, and is set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch in early 2024. Pre-orders are available now via the Nintendo eShop.
Developed by WayForward, Contra: Operation Galuga (named after the Contra universe’s Galuga Archipelago where series antagonist Red Falcon first appears) is described as a “thorough reimagining” of the 1987 classic. Operation Galuga will feature modern graphics and sound, new stages, new enemies and bosses, new play mechanics, an updated weapons system, and two-player co-op action in Story Mode, and four-player co-op in Arcade Mode.
The previous game in the Contra series, Contra: Rogue Corps, was released back in 2019 for PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
