A two-player game that supports couch co-op play,Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continuesallows you to swap between any of eight characters as you play. Those fighters include Johnny Lawrence, Daniel LaRusso, and more across 28 story missions, with boss fights included. Newcomers like Robby, Miguel, and Hawk are also part of the eight-character roster.
Original actorsRalph MacchioandWilliam Zabkalend their voices to Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, who will lead playable fighters from their respective dojos through the game’s multiple levels. Each fighter will have a skill tree to upgrade, and the ability to build out the rival dojos – Daniel’s Miyagi-Do or Johnny’s Cobra Kai – as a key element of the story progression. Players will have to complete both dojos' story arcs in order to get to the game’s true conclusion.

That gives players plenty of time to beat the game before season 3 ofCobra Kaipremieres on Netflix sometime in 2021.
Written and executive produced byJosh Heald,Jon Hurwitz, andHayden Schlossberg,Cobra Kaipicks up “34 years after events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRusso.” The series was met with critical raves and was the highest profile title on YouTube before it was dropped by the streamerearlier this year. Netflix, which had apparently pursuedCobra Kaisince it was first pitched, swooped in to save the already-greenlit third season, which will take Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso characterback to Okinawain the “biggest"season yet.
