Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues is a side-scrolling beat 'em-up video game based on the American streaming television series Cobra Kai (in turn based on the film franchise The Karate Kid). Developed by Flux Games and published by GameMill Entertainment in North America and Maximum Games in Europe, it was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 27, 2020, and for Microsoft Windows on January 5, 2021. The Nintendo Switch version was released in Europe on November 24, 2020. Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Jacob Bertrand, and Gianni DeCenzo reprise their roles as Daniel LaRusso, Johnny Lawrence, Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz, and Demetri respectively, while the rest of the other characters are voiced by different actors.

Development

The game was announced on August 25, 2020.[1] A trailer for the game was released the same day.[2] The game was in the middle of its alpha phase when the COVID-19 pandemic was declared and forced the developers to begin working remotely. The developers have cited games that served as inspiration, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and The Combatribes for combat mechanics, Overwatch and Assassin's Creed Odyssey for skill upgrades, and Streets of Rage, River City Girls and Final Fight for level pacing and enemy design. The dodge move was also added late in development as the parry system was very badly rated by testers.[3] The game features an entirely original soundtrack from the composers of the TV series, Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson. An official soundtrack album was released digitally on the same day the game was released.[4]
