Demonschool finally gets Nintendo Switch release date, new trailer

After waiting for a few years, Demonschool now has a release date. It was just announced that the school-life tactics RPG is due out on September 3, 2025.

Demonschool, which has hints of Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, and Italian horror cinema, was originally announced in 2022. While it was originally planned for 2023, it obviously didn’t launch that year.

If you’re interested in learning more about the game, read the following overview:

Join college freshman Faye, descended from a demon-hunting family lineage, as she discovers creatures she’d only seen in ancient tomes, now haunting an enigmatic island university. Survive a semester like no other by making friends, forging relationships, and battling gruesome monsters inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s Italian horror cinema and Japanese horror manga on a chess-like board where movement equals action.

Bring together an unstoppable battle party from hundreds of combinations among 15 playable characters, selecting between Faye’s unbridled kicks, Namako’s debuffs, Destin’s short-shorts-fueled knockbacks, and more to create the perfect group for each combat situation. Boost their distinct skills and abilities by scheduling them for training and accepting their side quests outside of class hours. Cultivate bonds between every pair to compose powerful combos in battle.

In a realm where 2D and 3D collide, encounter and fight the demon world’s worst beasts and bosses, from gory crawling hellspawn to giant skeletons and stacks of televisions. Strategically choose each party member’s path in the Planning phase with unlimited rewinds to perfect each turn, then watch every punch, heal, and combo play out simultaneously in the Action phase.

Brandon Sheffield, creative director at Necrosoft Games, noted today: “At long last, Demonschool is finally coming out. It’s been a long road but we’re through certification and ready to go. We really put a lot of ourselves into this thing and now the future of Demonschool is in your hands. We truly hope you will enjoy it.”
