Schoolgirl from Full Metal Attending Switch 2 Event in October

Sure thing! Let’s dive into this wild world.

—

“They can’t have ice cream, not anymore!” What? Why would anyone say that? Anyway, ever find yourself wondering about those elusive Switch 2 game announcements? Maybe you’ve just been looking in the wrong place. Picture this: 2089 Japan, yeah, the future. Sounds out there, I know. But D3Publisher knocks on our doors with Full Metal Schoolgirl coming October 23rd.

Yuke’s, the brains behind EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2 and AEW: Fight Forever, is at it again. More chaos in an “…action-packed adventure with a heavy-duty attitude.” That’s what they said. Seriously, it’s in the trailer.

Feeling lost? Take a deep breath and trust the press release (if those are still a thing). Here goes:

So, in 2089, Japan’s a mess. Meternal Jobz runs the show — think zombie robots working 24/7. They’re not unionized, obviously. You step into the shoes (robot boots?) of a decked-out cyborg schoolgirl. She’s on a mission, climbing a 100-story skyscraper, tearing apart zombie office workers, and maybe settling a score with an evil CEO. Remember when school was just about math tests?

And sure, it’s all “rebellion and chaos,” as D3Publisher’s Nobuyuki Okajima puts it. It’s personal revenge wrapped in satire. Capitalism gone wild, folks. Why set it in the future? Good question.

So here’s the rundown:

– Be a cyborg schoolgirl (why not?). Gear up with next-gen weaponry. Conquer Meternal Jobz. Zombies are the norm here.
– Combat’s up close and personal, in a skyscraper that’s basically a deathtrap. Layout changes each time because, well, why make it easy?
– Livestream battles. It’s a thing now. Beat baddies, earn rewards, and boost your mojo via donations. Viewers back you up, even if you hit rock bottom. Kinda comforting, don’t you think?

And if pre-orders are your vibe, they’re not open yet for Switch 2, but there’s more stuff on their official site. Check it out. Or don’t. Totally up to you.
