Suminya Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) The first Akiba's Trip is finally coming west, under the name Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed. Quote Take a trip back to the origin of a series that will knock more than just your socks off! In Akiba’s Trip, players expose vampiric creatures called Shadow Souls to deadly sunlight by liberating them of their clothes. Now, a fully remastered version of the original “Strip Action RPG” is coming to the West for the first time. Following the success of Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed, which was released as Akiba’s Trip 2 in Japan and has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide, Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed completely rebuilds the first title in a modern engine, bringing back the beat-’em-up, strip-’em-down gameplay fans know and love while accurately rendering Akihabara, Japan’s geek paradise, from circa 2012 in glorious HD. Developed by Acquire Corp. and published in North America by XSEED Games, Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed is in development with the launch date to be announced at a later time.

The “debriefing action RPG” where players must expose vampires to the sun, arrives with a physical Day 1 ‘10th Anniversary Edition’ currently available for pre-order for the PS4™ system and Nintendo Switch on the XSEED Games Store and participating retailers for a MSRP $49.99. The base game will be available digitally on all three platforms for $39.99, while digital deluxe editions are also available on PS4™ and PC for $49.99. The fully remastered version of the first AKIBA’S TRIP title, never before released in the West, is celebrating the 10th anniversary since its original 2011 release in Japan and will include dual Japanese and English audio options. Return to an accurately modeled Akihabara circa 2011, Japan’s famous electric town, and explore the bustling streets and back alleys of this otaku paradise. But beware the seedy underworld lurking in the shadows! After finding his missing friend unconscious and bleeding in an alley, young otaku Nanashi is attacked by a sinister figure straight out of a horror manga and left to die. As he lays dying, a mysterious young lady offers him some of her blood, both saving his life and changing it forever. Now a Shadow Soul, one of the very creatures that attacked him and his friend, he’s been imbued with superhuman strength and stamina…and a deadly weakness to sunlight. Caught up in a world of supernatural politics, Nanashi must contend with NIRO, a covert agency dedicated to hunting down paranormal threats, and the family of Shadow Souls, a group of inhuman monsters. It’s up to him and his friends, the self-styled ‘Akiba Freedom Fighters’ to preserve the peace of Akihabara and prevent an all-out war from tearing the town apart.

LucianaRosethorn Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm just glad we get it. Censorship is annoying and really unnecessary but how many times have we been through this? You can either buy it on PS4 or on stream so if it bothers you that much you have the option, it's not a deal breakers for me personally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynical_fate Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hopefully they do a good job with it, depending on what really changes I may grab it for PC but if the changes are subtle I'll probably still grab it for the PS4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskdocx Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I never played the first (which I guess technically is the 2nd?) I've often wondered if the Vita port was playable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Nice, the second game was enjoyable, so I might pick this up. Anyone care to bet how much the PS4 version will be censored? I'll go with fighting walking rays of sunlight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixyLove Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) I feel so hype about a game for once.... It's very likely to get censored, damn!
