Girls Frontline 2: Exilium, the sequel to the hit mobile shooter, now has a release date
After a successful beta, the developers have revealed that it'll be releasing on December 3rd
You'll be able to enjoy a new storyline, set ten years after the original alongside enhanced graphics
Girls Frontline is one of those franchises that stands out by the sheer absurdity of the concept, as cutesily dressed, heavily armed ladies run and gun their way through a variety of urban environments. It's now an anime and manga, but before all that, it was a mobile shooter. And its sequel, Girls Frontline 2: Exilium, now has a release date after a successful beta!
That's right, on December 3rd, just in time for Christmas, you can get your mitts on Girls Frontline 2 when it hits the iOS App Store and Google Play. The beta test, which ran from November 10th to the 21st managed to draw in more than 5000 players despite being invite-only, which seems a testament to the series' popularity and anticipation for the sequel.
Set ten years after the original, Girls Frontline 2: Exilium sees you once more taking on the role of a Commander leading an army of T-Dolls - robotic warrior women each armed with their own signature real-life weapon that they tend to be named after. Exilium boasts enhanced graphics and gameplay, as well as all that you'd expect if you've played the original.
Shoot to kill
While it's always tempting to do a bit of chin-stroking about the popularity of a series centred around girls running around with deadly weapons, I think there's something to be said about the fact it clearly appeals to weapon aficionados, shooter fans and those just there to collect waifus. Not only that but there's a surprising amount of drama and genuinely quite engaging visual design going on here, so I'd say it's well worth getting a bit excited for Girls Frontline 2.
