Microids and TMS Entertainment have confirmed that they are coming together to produce a game on Buichi Terasawa’s Space Adventure Cobra manga. The new game will be released on PC and consoles, but the companies are yet to specify which consoles will get the game. The game is currently in the pre-production stage.

Terasawa published the Cobra manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1978 to 1984. The manga follows the story of the titular Cobra, a man who is capable of turning his left arm into a gun, and is on the run from authorities and nefarious forces due to his mysterious past.

The manga was adapted into a 31-episode TV anime and film in 1982. The Space Adventure Cobra – The Movie anime was released in July 1982, three months ahead of its TV series premiere.
