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]

On Metacritic, the Nintendo Switch version of Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues has a score of 63% based on eight reviews, the PlayStation 4 version has a score of 67% based on eleven reviews, and the Xbox One version has a score of 60% based on seven reviews, all indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[6][7][8]
