“Contra” is a run-and-gun game depicting the fierce battle between super soldiers with superhuman combat abilities known as “Contra” and ferocious aliens aiming to invade Earth. The main characters of the series are Bill Rizer and Lance Bean, the strongest soldiers in the Earth Marine Corps (EMC).

As one of KONAMI’s flagship franchises, it has a long history spanning 36 years, with many titles produced to date.
Game Backstory X8 is a VR multiplayer hero shooter where heroes from different shooting game worlds converge across time and space to battle, each wielding extraordinary abilities.
At the core of X8’s world is the AI “Index,” which has drawn heroes from various game franchises to perfect a digital system capable of extending its reach beyond the virtual realm. However, “Glitches”—heroes whose programming errors have given them self-awareness—resist Index’s control, fighting to stop the AI and find a way back to their original worlds.
Gameplay Players choose from a roster of unique heroes, each with three special abilities activated by VR gestures. Armed with distinctive weapons and special items, players engage in strategic battles that leverage the immersive capabilities of VR.
Game Modes In X8, teams of up to 5v5 compete in multiple rounds of 2-minute battles. Teams alternate between attacking by planting and detonating a device called the “Syphon” and defending against it. Future updates will introduce additional game modes to enhance the competitive experience.
