Nintendo Switch 2 Expands Library with D3Publisher’s Full Metal Schoolgirl Launching October 23 D3Publisher has officially announced the upcoming release of Full Metal Schoolgirl, an action-packed adventure set in a dystopian vision of Japan.

Developed by Yuke’s, the renowned studio behind EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2 and AEW: Fight Forever, the game is set to launch digitally for the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 23, 2024.

This highly anticipated title marks a bold foray into the future of action games on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware. Full Metal Schoolgirl is rooted in a sharply satirical and futuristic narrative.

Set in the year 2089, players are thrust into a Japan where the corporation Meternal Jobz wields unprecedented control over the economy.

The company’s monopoly is enforced by its undead cyborg workforce, fittingly dubbed the “Working Dead.” Players assume the role of a fully armed cyborg schoolgirl on a mission of personal vengeance, tasked with infiltrating Meternal Jobz’s ever-shifting 100-floor skyscraper.

The journey culminates in a consequential showdown with the sinister CEO, as players dismantle waves of undead corporate workers and face elaborate security systems designed to halt their ascent. In an official statement provided by D3Publisher, Producer Nobuyuki Okajima described Full Metal Schoolgirl as "a game centered on rebellion and chaos, offering a gripping close-quarters combat experience within a satirical portrayal of late-stage capitalism fueled by intense action and the dynamic energy of live streaming fans." The press release emphasizes that the title draws inspiration from wild, fast-paced action, while also integrating timely commentary on the intersection of technology, labor, and entertainment in a digitally driven society. Key gameplay features of Full Metal Schoolgirl include: - **Cyborg Schoolgirl Protagonist:** Players step into the shoes of a mechanized heroine equipped with an array of high-powered weapons and customizable upgrades.

Fight back against relentless undead salarymen, facing new mechanical challenges as they ascend the skyscraper. - **Dynamic Level Design:** Each run through Meternal Jobz’s 100-floor tower introduces new layouts and obstacles, encouraging replayability and tactical adaptation.

Players must outsmart both the building’s evolving traps and its army of “Working Dead.” - **Livestream Upgrades System:** Unique to Full Metal Schoolgirl, the game features a live streaming mechanic allowing players to earn in-game rewards and donations from a virtual audience.

Support from viewers assists in upgrading abilities and navigating the ever-toughening resistance within the tower. While pre-orders for Full Metal Schoolgirl are not yet live on the Nintendo eShop, the official website has launched, offering additional gameplay insights, updated trailers, and behind-the-scenes content from D3Publisher and Yuke’s.

The release further reinforces Nintendo Switch 2’s growing catalogue of diverse and innovative titles, heightening anticipation among fans of action games and uniquely themed adventures. Backed by the collaborative expertise of D3Publisher and Yuke’s—both celebrated for their creative risks and genre-spanning portfolio—Full Metal Schoolgirl is poised to become a standout addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 release slate in 2024.
