Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues

Paulo Luis Santos, Creative Director and Executive Producer of the game, said he had not watched the show when the opportunity came along to pitch a Cobra Kai game concept to GameMill Entertainment. He decided to watch an episode or two to get into a Karate Kid headspace and 20 hours later had binged both seasons and was writing mechanics and ideas all over the place in a 100 page slideshow. He became a die-hard fan as soon as Johnny called MIguel "Menudo" in the first minutes of the first episode. At this point, he and his team watched the series countless times to bring as much of it to the game as possible. That's why they have characters that don't appear that much on the series having more screen time in the game.
