D3Publisher and Yuke’s have announced that their explosive action shooter Full Metal Schoolgirl is in development for Nintendo Switch 2.
Set in 2089, this “action-packed adventure with a heavy-duty attitude” will throw you into a dystopian Japan where the nation’s economy has become dominated by Meternal Jobz. This corrupt corporate superpower has a zombified cyborg labour force, dubbed the Working Dead, who work non-stop.
Playing as a fully armed cyborg schoolgirl heroine, you must ascend Meternal Jobz’s ever-changing 100-story skyscraper, dismantling waves of undead salarymen, twisted security systems and the dastardly CEO before their evil plans come to fruition.
“This is a game about rebellion and chaos,” explains D3Publisher producer Nobuyuki Okajima. “It’s a thrilling close-quarters battle experience set in a brutal satire of late-stage capitalism powered by bullets, blades, and the support of your livestream audience.”
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Take Revenge as a Fully-Mechanized Schoolgirl: Step into the role of a cyborg heroine armed with an arsenal of high-powered weaponry and cutting-edge mechanical upgrades in this exhilarating action shooter. Infiltrate Meternal Jobz, the world’s most ruthless mega-corporation, and fight back against undead “Working Dead”, the relentless corporate grunts that will stop at nothing to protect their employer. Show no mercy – scrap them all!
- Engage in Close-Quarters Combat in an Ever-Changing Skyscraper: Enter a towering 100-story skyscraper where the evil CEO awaits on the top floor. Climb higher while navigating an evolving structure as each new run introduces changing layouts and obstacles from its trap-like security system. Own the battlefield to reach the top!
- Fund Upgrades with Live-Streamed Battles: Use the power of content creation to win the favor of viewers! Obtain materials and rewards by defeating enemies to improve your character and earn donations for upgrades by live-streaming to a captivated audience. As the number of viewers increases, so does the support. Even in the face of defeat, remember you are not alone… the viewers of your livestream are cheering you on!
Full Metal Schoolgirl will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 23 October 2025.
