Gal*Gun Returns Announced for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, & PC

Today Inti Creates and PQube announced the comeback of the Gal*Gun franchise with Gal*Gun Returns.

It’s a remaster of the original Gal*Gun released between 2011 and 2012 for Xbox 360 and PS3 and never published outside of Japan.

This time it’s coming west in 2021, but it’s abandoning PlayStation. It’ll release only for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

You can check out the announcement trailer and the first images below, including screenshots and key art.

Below you can read an official description of Gal*Gun Returns directly from the developers’ press release.

“GalGun is the entertaining story of a young man who becomes “super popular” with the opposite sex and is now living the “unfortunate” life of having every lady that looks his way confessing their undying love for him. But he must steel himself and fend these would-be lovers off with his ‘special weapon’ (known as the Pheromone Shot), as he tries to win the affections of one of the main protagonists. GalGun is the crazy combination of arcade-style shooting action and dating sim that truly has no equal.

So much choice!

You will face -and romance- a huge cast of over 70 characters! From the heroines to the angels, students to faculty members, and even some ladies who are pretty rare sightings, you have ample choice in which waifu(s) to choose from as your True Love!
Give them Euphoria

While the Pheromone Shots are efficient, everyone has a special spot that makes them weak in the knees… If you aim correctly and see a「ハッ」or「キュン」, land your shot to score a 1-hit euphoric K.O. with the Ecstasy Shot, and get bonus points!

Is your heart beating faster?

The one and only Doki-Doki Mode is back and ready to showcase the girls’ best assets from all angles -should you meet the right criteria! If you get the girl(s) gauge filled-up in the time limit, you will eliminate all the enemies on screen while bringing the girls to euphoria! To top it off, you’ll receive a special reward for your… efforts.
