Developer Thirdverse has just announced that their free-to-play VR multiplayer hero shooter X8 will be releasing a special collaboration DLC with Konami’s Contra: Operation Galuga, with a brand-new gameplay trailer showcasing the aspects of the collab. The DLC is currently available for wishlisting from the Meta store.
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.
Players will take on the role of Bill and Lance and experience the world of Contra in VR, 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.
Players can purchase this game mode for $19.99. Included alongside the purchase is a Supreme Skin for Bill and Lance, an exclusive character voice, 5 exclusive splats, and 1000 X8 coins.
