Adapted from the Japanese animation series (based on illustrations and comic books created by Buichi Terasawa), the game provides players the opportunity to step into Cobra’s shoes as the famous galactic bounty hunter, in a futuristic and colorful universe.

Revealed in 2023, Space Adventure Cobra - The Awakening will offer players around the world a unique opportunity to relive the thrilling adventures of Cobra by exploring the first 12 episodes of the series, featuring one of its most iconic arcs: the Captain Nelson's treasure.

Created in 1978 by Buichi Terasawa, the cult manga Cobra has captivated several generations of fans worldwide with its plot full of twists, skillfully blending science fiction, action, and mystery. The success of Cobra is largely due to its main protagonist, Cobra, a fearless adventurer with a cybernetic left arm housing a formidable weapon, the legendary Delta Ray. This charismatic character, accompanied by his loyal partner Armaroid Lady, has captured the imagination of the audience through his numerous escapades across the universe.

The game Space Adventure Cobra - The Awakening promises to stay true to the spirit of the 1982 animated series while delivering an immersive and modern experience, specially designed for long-time fans as well as a new generation of players. With graphics that remain faithful to the anime's spirit, dynamic gameplay, and a carefully crafted narrative, this game is set to be a vibrant tribute to Buichi Terasawa's work, while allowing players to immerse themselves in Cobra's fascinating and dangerous universe.
