Schoolgirl Meets Armor: Attending Switch 2 This October

“The Ice Cream’s Gone, But Hey, There’s Cyborgs Now”

So here’s the thing. You probably haven’t been rummaging around future Japan, circa 2089. I mean, I get it. Not exactly a spot you can book on Expedia, right? But that’s where D3Publisher jumps in to give you a heads-up about “Full Metal Schoolgirl.” Oh yeah, it’s dropping on October 23rd. Thought you’d want to know.

Now, this wild ride comes from Yuke’s, those folks who did “EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2” and “AEW: Fight Forever.” Sounds rad already, doesn’t it? Anyway, picture this: an “action-packed adventure with a heavy-duty attitude.” That’s what the trailer hollers, in case you missed it.

But, wait — rewind a sec. Press release time:

Okay, imagine Japan, 2089 style. It’s all messed up with this mega corporation, Meternal Jobz, running the show. They’re like the boss of everything with these zombified cyborgs — “Working Dead,” they’re called. Seriously, who names these things? Anyway, as our cyborg schoolgirl hero, you gotta climb Meternal Jobz’s crazy 100-story building, wiping out these undead dudes and eventually the big bad CEO. All while they’re plotting some evil scheme — sounds familiar, right?

“This is a game about rebellion and chaos,” says Nobuyuki Okajima at D3Publisher. It’s like satire, but with more bullets and your livestream fans egging you on. Future Japan madness, anybody?

Here’s the rundown:

Revenge — Cyborg Schoolgirl Style: So, gear up as this tech-loaded schoolgirl heroine. You’re all set to wreck Meternal Jobz, taking on these undead goons who’ll do anything to guard their corporate turf.

Brawl in a Twisty Skyscraper: Picture yourself in this ever-changing high-rise with the villainous CEO chilling at the top. Every climb’s a new puzzle with traps and all.

Upgrade with Your Livestream Posse: Fight, stream, win prizes. Seriously. Your audience is totally into it, and more viewers mean more upgrades. Even if you crash and burn, hey, virtual fans are still rooting for you.

By the way, you can’t snag pre-orders for Switch 2 yet — but check the official site for more scoop. Just a heads-up.
