VR Hero Shooter X8 to Feature Contra Crossover Event in December - UploadVR
VR Hero Shooter X8 Gets Contra Crossover Event This December
Konami's popular run-and-gun "Contra" series will be crossing over with the free-to-play VR hero shooter "X8" in a special event this December. Thirdverse announced today, alongside a teaser trailer, that the event will feature characters from "Contra: Operation Galuga," the latest "Contra" installment released for flat-screen platforms in March. The "X8" event will add "Operation Galuga" protagonists Bill Rizer and Lance Bean to its roster.
According to Thirdverse, the event centers on the rogue AI "Index," which plans to extend its reach by targeting the "Contra" game. Index gathers data on Bill and Lance to create millions of replicas, forcing them to fight in arenas to refine its system.
Further details on this crossover remain sparse, but the announcement also included new game updates, such as a 'Temple' map, an overhauled in-game shop, hero lore, new cosmetic skins, and balance adjustments. "X8" is currently available on Quest, Steam, and Pico, with PlayStation VR2 support confirmed.
