Blazing Chrome will be released for PC, PS4, Switch in Early 2019

There was big news for retro gaming fans this morning as developer JoyMasher confirmed that Blazing Chrome, their Contra-like side-scrolling shooter, will be released for the PC, PS4, and Switch in Early 2019. The team celebrated this milestone with the release of a new Environments Trailer, which showcases some of the futuristic locales that players will visit as they repel a robotic uprising:

A new gameplay clip debuted with the announcement, sharing a fresh glimpse of the devastated environments awaiting action fans eager to fight for a brighter, less mechanically-dominated future. Players will need a steady aim as they plow through a warzone, utilizing tide-changing power-ups, powerful exosuits, and an arsenal of futuristic weaponry to stay alive on the battlefield.

Blazing Chrome is a throwback to the golden days of side-scrolling shooters with modern touches ensuring its gameplay feels as precise as it does authentic to the era it channels. Players can tear through six highly-varied stages filled with deadly, bullet-spewing AI as Mavra, a lone human resistance fighter, or the rebellious robotic insurgent Doyle.

Konami might be done with the Contra franchise, but it’s great to see that it’s style of run-and-gun mayhem will live on through games like Blazing Chrome.
