Run for Money: The Great Mission announced for Switch (trailer added)

The latest issue of Famitsu Magazine has a feature from D3 Publisher, in which the company reveals that they’re bringing Run for Money: The Great Mission to the Switch. The title is set for launch in Japan on July 4th, 2024 and it is based on the anime series of the same name.

Run for Money: The Great Mission is an animated series based on the popular Run for Money variety game show in Japan. In a futuristic timeline where humanity migrated to the Moon due to Earth’s climate change, only one thing remains popular to the citizens; a game show called “Run for Money.” This is an entertainment survival game in which “fugitives” are released into a limited area, and must escape the pursuing android “hunters” until the time limit counts down to zero, the last one(s) standing can win a large prize. Some dream of getting rich, while others challenge themselves to test their strength. (h/t Fandom)

There’s very little chance that Run for Money: The Great Mission will get a localization, but you can always hop on your Switch in July and switch regions to snag this one from the Japanese eShop. If you’d like to check out a few more screens from the game, you can find a gallery here.
