D3 Publisher has released a trailer and official website for *Girls & Panzer: All-Star Tank Carnival* and announced that the game will be released for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
Authentic Tank Action from the *Dream Tank Match* Team
This title is a “Tankery” action game based on the anime “Girls & Panzer.”
Development is being handled by the team behind *Girls & Panzer: Dream Tank Match*, which was released for PS4 and Switch.It carries over the fast-paced action that was so well-received in that title, allowing players to enjoy tank battles true to the source material—including close-quarters combat while drifting, the “lunch angle” (tilting your tank toward the enemy to increase armor thickness), and immobilizing opponents by targeting their tracks.
Just like in the series, you can perform tricky maneuvers such as 180-degree turns, and authentic tank combat elements—including damage from behind and damage variations based on angle—remain intact, just as in the previous title.
Graphics and presentation have also been enhanced; the reactions of commanders peeking out from their tanks and their lively banter are said to add a charming touch to the matches.
In online battles, you can engage in real-time tank battles with up to 10 players from across the country. You’re free to combine your favorite tanks and crew members to participate.
In single-player mode, you can explore the town of Oarai—as depicted in the TV anime and movie—alongside the protagonist, Miho Nishizumi. The game seems to pride itself on offering a virtual town-walking experience where you stroll through familiar sights one by one, and you can even drive around town in a Panzer IV.
Talking to friends located throughout the town triggers quests (matches) based on the game’s original story, advancing the narrative. The game depicts the Oarai Girls’ Team’s new battles at the Tankery festival, which is set to be held in Oarai within the game.
Furthermore, it seems you’ll be able to take photos with the Tankery girls.
