The legendary run-and-gun game Contra series' latest installment comes to VR! Let’s attack aggressively!

Since its debut in 1987, the legendary run-and-gun game series "Contra" has captivated many fans, and can finally be played in a 360-degree VR world. Players can become the 3D characters Bill and Lance and experience the world of “Contra” in VR.
 
In the newly released collaboration gameplay trailer, players can step into the roles of Bill and Lance as they face off against the formidable "Red Falcon" in an intense 360-degree VR world, battling waves of oncoming enemies.
 
Along with the classic weapon power-ups that define the Contra series, players can experience special attacks through the new "Overload" feature introduced in Contra: Operation Galuga. Fighting as Bill and Lance, dodging a relentless barrage of bullets from all directions, players will feel fully immersed in the world of Contra.
 
Collaboration Storyline: Heroes Unite Against a Common Foe

In this unique crossover, the rogue AI "Index" seeks to expand its influence beyond X8’s digital domain by targeting the game Contra. After gathering data on Bill and Lance, the heroes of "Contra", Index creates millions of replicas of these iconic characters; the purpose is to make them fight in arenas to train and perfect its system.
 
However, "Glitches" of Bill and Lance (replicas with programming errors) retain their original identities and consciousness, much like other heroes within the digital realm of X8.
 
Can Bill and Lance unite with X8's heroes to stop Index's rampage and find their way back to their digital world?
 
A new game app for all Contra collaboration content!
 
To allow even more people to enjoy the collaboration with Contra: Operation Galuga, X8 Contra: Super Wall Storm, will launch on December 12, 2024 as a new app on the Meta Store, and will feature all the adds-on of the collaboration.
