Alright, picture this: a future — maybe not one you’d want to live in — where Japanese office folks are basically chained to their desks, working non-stop. No breaks, no mercy. It’s wild, right? Who’s gonna save them from this nightmare? Enter the “cyborg schoolgirl” hero. Yeah, you heard it. In Full Metal Schoolgirl, she’s strapping up with weapons to take down this twisted corporate beast.
So, Yuke’s? They’re the brains behind this whole thing. You might know them from wrestling games or that Earth Defense Force stuff. And they’ve got D3Publisher on board too — those folks who brought us OneChanbara. Seriously, don’t sleep on that wild series.
The game kicks off with this insane trailer promising chaos and… school uniforms. Because, why not? You’ll be controlling one of two cyber-schoolgirls (yeah, both are decked out in gear and ready to rumble), climbing this absurdly tall corporate tower — Meternal Jobz. Sounds like a band name, but nope, just an evil mega-corp standing tall.
As you’re scaling this 100-story monster, you’ll run into these “Working Dead” types — brain-fried employees who, let’s be real, don’t stand a chance once you start upgrading your cyber-girl. Upgrades galore as you smack your way through endless office halls. It’s like a vending machine, but for chaos.
The vibe from the trailer? Hot mess in the best way—winking at you with cheek and charm. Yuke’s is having the time of their lives with this, and it shows. Side note: If you catch the Japanese trailer, you’re in for a catchy tune that’ll take over your brain space. Earworm alert, folks!
Oh, and get this. The schoolgirls? They’re streaming their whole mission. Yup, you read right. Livestream chaos while they’re up against printer drones or whatever. Viewers can, like, donate or send upgrades. Talk about an interactive bloodbath!
Circle your calendars for Oct. 23 ‘cause Full Metal Schoolgirl is dropping on the Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and all your PC spots like Steam. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but you might wanna suit up. Who’s ready to storm a creepy corporate tower with me?
