Publisher Microids and developer Magic Pockets have revealed Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening, their previously announced game based on the legendary 70s manga/anime by Buichi Terasawa.

Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening is in development for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5 and will now launch sometime in 2025.

Fans can expect the new spacefaring pirate game to cover the first bits of the manga equivalent to the first dozen episodes of the classic anime series. The new game will “remain true to its spirits” complete with “bravery and humor that made it so special.”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Play as Cobra, the space pirate, in an action platformer adapted from the famous anime series. Along with Lady Armaroid, your loyal partner, and equipped with your iconic Psychogun, you must solve a mysterious threat hanging over the entire universe.

Travel from planet to planet to save three enigmatic sisters, whose fate is tied up with a fabulous treasure sought by the Pirate Guild.

You will need to shrewdly use Cobra’s weapons and gadgets to defeat your enemies and complete the levels filled with obstacles and traps, which will be no pushover for our space rogue.
