Schoolgirl Plays Full Metal at October Switch 2 Event

—
### “They can’t have ice cream, not anymore!”

Okay, so… about all the buzz with Switch 2 games lately. If you’re scratching your head wondering where those game announcements wandered off to, maybe your mind wasn’t hanging out in the future—2089 Japan, to be precise. Yeah, apparently that’s where we all should’ve been looking. Anyway, D3Publisher’s here with a wake-up call, waving the flag for Full Metal Schoolgirl, officially hitting us on October 23rd. Mark it down. Or don’t, who am I to boss you around?

Yuke’s—the gang behind stuff like EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2 and AEW: Fight Forever—is cooking up this new “action-packed adventure with a heavy-duty attitude.” Yup, their words, not mine. Those trailers, though… ever watch one and forget what you were doing?

Okay, slow it down. Let’s dive into the press release vibe:

Picture it: It’s 2089, and Japan’s taken a nosedive into dystopia. The big bad here is Meternal Jobz, some mega-corporate behemoth using zombified cyborgs to keep the wheels turning. They call them the “Working Dead.” I mean, could that BE any more on-the-nose? Anyway, you play as this super-badass cyborg schoolgirl. Your mission? Climb all 100 stories of Meternal Jobz’s skyscraper. Why? To tear apart salarymen zombies and a twisted CEO along with all those high-tech security systems. Revenge, people. Sweet, sweet revenge.

“This is a game about rebellion and chaos,” says Nobuyuki Okajima, the mastermind over at D3Publisher. The vibe? Battles up close and personal, a brutal satire of capitalism at its worst. Sounds like a Friday night to me.

Seems funny they went with the future setting, huh?

Jump into the shoes (literal rocket boots?) of a mechanized schoolgirl, loaded with an arsenal that screams overkill. March into Meternal Jobz and face off against those undead worker drones. They’re relentless. Like, “protect the boss at all costs” relentless.

Oh, and you’re battling your way through a skyscraper that loves to shift around, luring you into trap after trap. Seriously, this building’s moodier than I was last Tuesday.

But here’s the twist—you’re live-streaming these battles. Yeah, you’re racking up views, cash, and upgrades while battling it out. Viewers are your cheerleaders. Even if you crash and burn, there’s this virtual crowd virtually egging you on! Weirdly motivational, right?

As for pre-orders? Nada yet for the Switch 2, but hey, their website’s got extra bits if you’re curious.

Catch you in the future. Or maybe not.
