On the 4th of June, Konami filed a trademark for "Contra Run and Gun" through the USPTO:
As far as I could tell, there was no Contra content in Konami's Pre-E3 Show 2013. Maybe they are saving this as an E3 surprise. Whatever it is, we'll probably know more soon.
Perhaps it has something to do with that teaser from 2011.
