The Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening (PS5) is a 2.5D action-platformer based on the classic sci-fi anime Space Cobra created by Buichi Terasawa. Developed by Magic Pockets and published by Microids, the game faithfully adapts the early story arc of the series, allowing players to step into the role of the legendary space pirate Cobra.
Set across vibrant interplanetary locations, the game follows Cobra as he is pulled back into conflict with the Space Pirate Guild while uncovering mysteries tied to the Royal Sisters and his infamous rival Crystal Bowie. Gameplay combines fast-paced shooting, platforming, and exploration, with Cobra’s iconic weapons such as the Psychogun and grappling mechanics playing a central role in combat and traversal.
Designed with a strong retro-anime aesthetic, the game features stylized visuals, cinematic cutscenes inspired by the original anime, and a narrative experience aimed at both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise.
