COVID-19 may be canceling school proms, but the Nintendo Switch is bringing the prom to gamers with Monster Prom: XXL.

One of the main highlights for students during the school year is going to prom. Boys and girls nervously hope that their crush will ask them to the prom or accept their invitation. Limos are rented and dashing suits and enchanting dresses are carefully considered. However, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has scuttled prom for this year, but gamers do have another way to enjoy this time-hallowed tradition. The Nintendo Switch recently announced the upcoming launch of Monster Prom: XXL.

It’s a Graveyard Smash for the Nintendo Switch

Gamers can circle May 21 on their calendars as that is when Monster Prom: XXL is released for the Nintendo Switch. Players take on the role of a student at a high school populated with monsters, and it is only three short weeks to prom.

This dating sim game features the original game, the Second Term DLC, and all the seasonal content that was released during the game’s original lifespan. There are hundreds of events for players to navigate through, making choices to increase their stats in the hope of getting their chosen love interest to fall for them.

There are over 1,000 multiple outcomes for this Nintendo Switch game, and plenty of items to help players achieve their goals. The game can be played solo or with up to four players, either locally or online. Friends can become bitter rivals in Monster Prom; XXL if they set their sight on the same love interest.

Multiple Characters

There are eight love interest characters in Monster Prom: XXL. What is intriguing is that all the characters are available to be pursued as sexual orientation and gender do not impact gameplay at all.

The eight love interest characters are:

• Damien LaVey – a fearless demon with a taste for destruction and a love of fire.
• Vera Oberlin – a mean, self-made gorgon with a merciless sense of business.
• Zoe – an eldritch cutie who went from endless deity of the dark realms to ultimate fangirl.
• Polly Geist – a party ghost with an insatiable hunger for all the wrong things.
• Miranda Vanderbilt – a sweet mermaid princess who was as cute as she was genocidal.
• Oz – a shy and insecure being made purely from fear.
• Liam de Lioncourt – a hipster vampire whose stand-offish demeanor hid that he was truly a lovable dork.
• Scott Howl – a werewolf athlete who compensated for his rather small brain with a stupidly huge heart.

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is fueling the amount of video games people are playing. While schools, concert venues, and parks are closed due to quarantine orders, at least Nintendo Switch gamers can soon try to score a date for a virtual prom.
