Alright, here we go. So, have you ever wondered where all those buzzing Switch 2 game announcements have been hiding? Nope? Just me then? Well, turns out, you’ve gotta peek into a wild future world — 2089 Japan, to be exact. (Yeah, seriously.) Anyway, D3Publisher dropped a nugget I didn’t see coming: Full Metal Schoolgirl hits the scene on October 23rd. Mark the date. Or don’t. Your call.
So, Yuke’s—you remember them, right? The brains behind EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2 and AEW: Fight Forever—are cooking up this wild ride they’re calling an “action-packed adventure with a heavy-duty attitude.” Whatever that means. The trailer’s out there somewhere, doing a better job explaining what words can’t. I mean, seriously, those visuals.
Okay, let’s hit pause a sec. Dive into this press release gold:
Alright, picture this—2089, and Japan’s gone full dystopian. Everything’s run by Meternal Jobz, this corporate beast using, get this, zombified cyborg workers called the “Working Dead.” Not exactly the dream workforce, huh? You’ll be this fully armed schoolgirl cyborg — yeah, you read that right — taking a shot at revenge. Crazy, right? It’s a skyscraper climb fest with 100 floors of chaos. We’re talking evil suits, twisted security gear, and a CEO with sinister plans.
Producer Nobuyuki Okajima says it’s all about rebellion — think late-stage capitalism but with bullets and blades. And hey, who doesn’t love a good satire sprinkled with mayhem?
The game’s got you playing as this high-tech schoolgirl, taking on the mega-corp Meternal Jobz. It’s a shooter, but with a twist—fighting off those relentless “Working Dead” and climbing through an ever-shifting skyscraper alongside your livestream audience who are… somehow part of the mix. Yeah, streaming battles for upgrades and donations. Because why not.
So far, no pre-orders for the Switch 2 version, but there’s an official site up with more stuff. Might be worth snooping around if you’re curious. But hey, maybe you’re not. Who knows.
And that’s my, uh, slightly chaotic take on it all. Catch you on the flip side! Or don’t. I’m not your boss.
