Ah, ice cream. Remember when the biggest twist in life was whether to pick chocolate or vanilla? Those were the days, eh? Now it’s 2089, and if you’re sitting there waiting for Switch 2 game updates, well, you might be missing the point. Dystopian Japan’s calling, with some wild news courtesy of D3Publisher. They’ve got this new game, Full Metal Schoolgirl, lined up for October 23rd. I mean, honestly, that title alone gets me.
Yuke’s is behind it, the same folks who did that EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2 and AEW: Fight Forever gig. Apparently, this one’s an “action-packed adventure with a heavy-duty attitude.” Sounds intense, right? The trailer dropped, and bam! It’s exactly as over-the-top as you’d hope.
Hold on—let me get back to the basics here for a sec:
We’re talking about 2089 Japan, a time when things are, shall we say, a bit grim. Meternal Jobz is this mega-corp running the show with their zombified cyborg worker bees, affectionately dubbed the “Working Dead.” Picture this: You’re a cyborg schoolgirl on a revenge spree, taking a corporate skyscraper by storm. Wild, right? And yeah, you’ve got waves and waves of undead salarymen to blast through. Maybe it’s satire. Maybe it’s catharsis. Who knows.
Okajima from D3Publisher sums it up as a “game about rebellion and chaos.” Like, think bullets and blades slashing through corporate greed. All wrapped in online applause. Live-streaming your rampage? Now that’s a twist. Makes you wonder why they didn’t just set it today, huh?
Here’s the deal in Full Metal Schoolgirl:
-
Armed to the Teeth: You’re a fully-decked-out cyborg fighting against Meternal Jobz. Taking down these zombie-like workers who just won’t quit.
-
Ever-Changing Battlefield: This crazy skyscraper changes every time. One moment you’re on floor 10, next floor 50, and who knows what fresh hell awaits on floor 100? Exciting or terrifying? You decide.
- Live-Stream Shenanigans: Yep, your fight is a show. People tune in, cheer you on, toss donations for your upgrades. Crazy, right? Even when you’re failing, there’s this crowd backing you. Kind of comforting, I guess.
Anyway, you can’t pre-order it yet for the Switch 2, but they’ve got a website up. It’s a whole thing. Honestly, the game sounds like a ride. Makes you wonder what’s next. Or maybe I’m just daydreaming.
