Ooh boy, where do I even start? There’s this game coming out – Full Metal Schoolgirl – set in Japan’s futuristic wonderland… well, more of a dystopian nightmare really, in 2089. Now, before you roll your eyes and mutter something about how every game is heading in the doom’n’gloom direction, hear me out. D3Publisher’s behind this chaos, and they’re launching it on October 23rd. Mark it, folks!
Yuke’s developed this gem. Yes, the same people who threw us into the madness of EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2 and AEW: Fight Forever. Honestly, it’s got that “action-packed adventure” vibe stamped all over it. You’ll know what I mean if you peek at the trailer. Side note: Was it just me, or did the background music sound like a blender having a meltdown? Anyway, back to the point—or maybe slightly off point.
So, press release time. Let me unravel this for you: Picture Japan in 2089. It’s like a bad sci-fi movie where Meternal Jobz—a shady corporation that’s basically a mega monster—is king. They’ve got these zombified cyborgs (they call ‘em “Working Dead”), and they’re literally workhorses, kidding you not. Enter you, the schoolgirl with more firepower than sense and a mission that screams revenge. Imagine Spider-Man with a personal vendetta, but with more metal and less friendly neighborhood.
Oh, hold up. Nobuyuki Okajima, the guy pulling the strings at D3Publisher, says it’s about rebellion and chaos. Think about it: a brutal satire of capitalism… bullets flying, blades flashing… and fans watching it all live on your stream. Strange combo? Totally.
Now, let’s dive in (or claw our way up) this tower of doom – a 100-story skyscraper morphing into a labyrinth each time you step in. They say every mission’s different… or did they mean difficult? Could be both when traps keep popping like creepy surprise parties. Your allies? A virtual crowd cheering you on as you livestream. Weirdly comforting, right? Or maybe just me.
Haven’t said anything about the Switch 2 pre-orders. Nada. Zilch. But you can start unraveling more madness on their official site. And who knows, maybe portions of this monstrous skyscraper will start making sense. Or maybe not. Either way, it’s one heck of a wild ride waiting to happen.
