Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues announced for PS4, XB1, and Switch

There is a rebooted version of the classic 1980’s film The Karate Kid, which is news to me and probably you as it was only available on YouTube Red, YouTube’s subscription service. The TV series, Cabra Kai, has been running since 2018 features William Zabka and Ralph Macchio reprising their roles from the original The Karate Kid movie. The series has been picked up by Netflix and will be available later this year and re-examines the narrative from point of view of Johnny Lawrence, a minor character in the film.

Now living in the affluent hills of Los Angeles, Daniel LaRusso ( Macchio) leads an enviable life with his beautiful family and owns successful string of car dealerships. His high school adversary, Johnny Lawrence (Zabka), has had a less pleasant adulthood and seeks redemption by reopening the famous Cobra Kai karate dojo.

Following me so far? Good, because there’s a game based on the series on the way as well, launching on October 27th on PlayStation 4 & Xbox One with the Nintendo Switch version following later on November 24th.

Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues delivers an original two-fold story from dueling perspectives made in collaboration with the series showrunners, complete with character-driven cutscenes and dialogue featuring the voices of Ralph Macchio, William Zabka and more. Play as Daniel LaRusso and his students at Miyagi-Do Karate, or their Cobra Kai rivals, led by Daniel’s old rival, Johnny Lawrence. The choice is yours, but only completing both sides of the campaign will unlock the ultimate ending.

Swap between eight playable characters seamlessly in battle, each with their own unique upgradeable attacks, combos and skill trees. Face down fierce enemies and bosses in hard-hitting brawls and explore the Los Angeles of the Cobra Kai universe across 28 story missions. The fight is in your hands!
