**BEIJING – June 26, 2013 –**** **International mobile game developer CocoaChina/Chukong, in partnership with legendary digital entertainment company Konami, today announced the release of *Contra: Evolution* for iOS.

Following the game’s release in China earlier this year, Konami and CocoaChina have worked together to polish and optimize *Contra: Evolution *for the U.S. market.

Keeping with the legacy of the original *Contra *game, *Contra: Evolution* takes players through the jungles of South America to stop an alien conspiracy for world domination. Play as one of four characters, all with their own unique strengths, as you take on wave after wave of gun-toting terrorists and save the world. *Contra: Evolution *combines all of the best parts of the original *Contra *game that players remember with mechanics designed for a modern audience, from level design that captures *Contra*’s famed difficulty to reimagined graphics inspired by the classic 8-bit art.
