A new Contra game was teased at Konami's pre-E3 event today. However, virtually nothing is known about it at this point -- except that we have heard that Konami aims to do with Contra what they did with Castlevania last year in Lords of Shadow (in other words, make it a full-on, big budget 3D game).
The reveal came at the end of the show -- a trailer with flames shot around a black background for a few seconds before they came together to form the Contra "C."
The most recent Contra game was also the first in the series to not carry the Contra name: Hard Corps: Uprising for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
