Contra: Rogue Corps demo now available

Konami released today the demo of the highly-anticipated return of Contra in Contra: Rogue Corpse for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC via Steam.

The demo that is now available will give a quick glimpse of the game’s single-player campaign including some of its large-scall bosses. In addition, players can team up with one another online during the demo.

Here’s an overview of the Contra Rogue Corps demo, via Konami:

The demo will showcase the single-player campaign of the twin-stick, third-person action game, including a playable preview of one of the many large-scale boss battles that will be a part of the final version of the game. Players will complete missions, gathering resources to upgrade their guns and body parts to stay alive in the Damned City. If all else fails, players can bring in a friend online to the campaign and mow-down enemies together. Players will also have access to a local couch co-op mode and unique online player-versus-player mode called “Carnage League.”

Featured within the demo is a new gameplay trailer, which will show never-before-seen footage from Contra: Rogue Corps. The demo level is standalone, and progress will not be carried over to the main game on release.
