So Cobra Kai Is Getting A Video Game And A Trailer Just Dropped

Cobra Kai is getting a video game and it doesn’t look great.

Not gonna lie, I never expected Cobra Kai to be a beloved streaming series. After The Karate Kid reboot sort of petered out, I thought the franchise had run its course. But here we are, several years later, and Cobra Kai only seems to be growing in its overall impact. So, it only makes sense that it get its own video game, right? No? Oh, well that’s apparently the next step it will be taking anyway! And, even crazier, it looks like I’ve been out of the loop because it’s been on fans’ radar for a bit already.

IGN just dropped the new trailer for the Cobra Kai video game, and it’s enough to make people say… “well, I guess this is a thing now.” The trailer starts off with some clips from the show itself. It then builds up in momentum before showing off actual game footage, which looks to feature a laundry list of characters for the series.

Check out the series below:

The Cobra Kai video game looks to be developed in the tradition of games like Scott Pilgrim, in that it’s a side-scrolling fighting game. However, whereas Scott Pilgrim went with a gorgeous sprite visual design, Cobra Kai looks to be going for an…uglier look? The models don’t look great, and nor do the movements. But, who knows? The gameplay could be great.

At the very least, the story stuff looks promising. In a move that reflects the TV show, it’s told from two perspectives. From the look of it, you can likely choose between fighting as a Cobra Kai student or Miyagi-Do student. That will then dictate the story beats. It’s a cool idea, but the execution looks…well, it just doesn’t look pretty.

Regardless, it’s hitting PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on October 27, so we don’t have long to wait before we know whether or not it’s good.
