Publisher PQube has announced that Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2 will be coming to Switch this year. The game is a sequel to Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story and continues with the same themes, allowing you to build your school as you see fit as its principal, nurturing the students as they tackle fearsome foes with classic turn-based combat.

You'll be able to completely customise what kind of school you'd like to create, whether it be focusing on building a legion of warriors, or practicing magic to rival that of Hogwarts. Once you cultivate a set of competent students, you can then send them out into the wild to prove their worth and raise your school's prestige.
