Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening was previously revealed as a side-scroller based on Buichi Terasawa’s legendary manga and its anime adaptation. Now publisher Microids and developer Magic Pockets have locked in a release date, lining the action game up for an August 26 launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG.
As previously reported, Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening covers the first 12 episodes of the anime adaptation, which originally aired in Japan for 31 episodes from 1982 to 1983. It also takes inspiration from Terasawa’s original 1978-1984 manga, which went on to inspire the aforementioned classic anime along with OVAs, a 2010 anime and, perhaps most famously, Osamu Dezaki’s 1982 classic Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie.
