MercurySteam’s David Cox would like to do something with Contra

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow producer David Cox is a big fan of Contra and would “like to do something in that universe”. For the time being, however, Cox is focusing his efforts on the upcoming Lords of Shadow games.
He told GameSpot:
“Mercury Steam has a couple of really cool ideas that would be fantastic to work with. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Contra, and I’d like to do something in that universe, but there are so many exciting possibilities. At the moment, all of our focus is on Lords of Shadow and trying to bring that legacy home. We want to exceed everyone’s expectation. That’s what we want to leave behind.”
The actual Contra series has been dormant for a number of years. Konami seemed to tease a new entry last year, but we haven’t heard anything since. Hopefully that project is still in development.
