Today we are proud to announce that side-scrolling shoot’em up Schildmaid MX will be coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and the Microsoft Store for Windows on November 26th. Physical editions for Nintendo Switch are available to pre-order with online retail partner Playasia and are expected to ship at the same time as digital launch.
As exhibited at Tokyo Game Show in 2024 and as part of our brand showcase in 2025, Schildmaid MX is a retro shmup inspired by genre classics, combining nostalgic pixel art presentation with innovative shield mechanics that put an intense new spin on the bullet hell action. Players must strategically run into projectiles to power their starfighter’s special weaponry and turn their enemies’ firepower back against them, requiring quick thinking and clever juggling of defense versus offense. Industry veterans had a chance to play the game at Tokyo Game Show and praised Schildmaid MX for its presentation, unique gameplay mechanics and overall intelligent design.
Schildmaid MX is originally developed by HitP Studio in close cooperation with Eastasiasoft Limited. Digital pricing is set at US$19.99/€19.99 plus for a limited time, a 10% launch discount will be available on select platforms. The game supports multiple languages including English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese. Only 1000 physical Limited Editions will be produced for Nintendo Switch and include the game card, soundtrack CD, Joy-Con sticker set and numbered certificate in a collector’s box. Standard copies are also available for pre-order.
