The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- gets English Story Trailer
We just reported about the final character trailers for The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- last week, which were released by XSEED Games, and now commemorating the Steam demo's launch Aniplex have released an English-dubbed story trailer for the game.
Today's Prologue Demo will include save data transfer for the full game when it releases on April 24, 2025 - though as always when it comes to situations involving save transfer, Steam Deck owners may require a separate PC to resolve any hassle that might be introduced by the Proton compatibility layer.
The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is yet another project from Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi's Too Kyo Games studio, channeling from both of the developers past works - most notably, in this case, Danganronpa. Players take control of a group of students as they struggle over 100 days to protect the titular Last Defense Academy, in order to hopefully return to their normal everyday lives. The game will launch on April 24, 2025 for Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam).
