Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed is currently scheduled for a summer 2014 release on both platforms.

 XSEED Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that the company will be releasing the flashy, wild action RPG title, AKIBA?S TRIP: Undead & Undressed, on the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system in summer 2014. Released as AKIBA?S TRIP 2 in Japan, the all new standalone story in AKIBA?S TRIP: Undead & Undressed takes players on an eclectic trip through Tokyo?s ?Electric Town? electronics district in which they will battle vampire-like foes in over-the-top, highly stylized role-playing action.

In AKIBA?S TRIP: Undead & Undressed, players work to repel a brooding malevolence that has suffused Tokyo?s popular electronics district, Akihabara (Akiba for short), which has been painstakingly remodeled in the game to resemble its real life counterpart. Akiba has been invaded by creatures known as ?Synthisters? who prey on the otaku patrons of Akihabara like vampires, but feast on their will to live and energy to socialize rather than their blood. Only direct exposure to sunlight can destroy the Synthisters, and it?s up to players to ensure that that?s just what they get. If only it weren?t for those pesky clothes protecting them from the sun?s harmful rays?

That?s where players come in. It?s their task to roam this sanctuary of anime and gaming fanatics, identify the outwardly human Synthisters with the help of a handy smartphone app, and then beat and pull at them until they?ve been relieved of their clothes, exposing them to sunlight and sending them to the netherworld. Everyday objects from baseball bats to comic books to motherboards can be used as weapons, and players can take their enemies? unique clothing for their own personal use as well.

AKIBA?S TRIP: Undead & Undressed tells the story of a young man named Nanashi who was lured into a trap and transformed into one of the walking undead. Lucky enough to be spared the worst of his fate by the kiss of a mysterious Synthister hunter named Shizuku, Nanashi is sworn to rid Akihabara of the Synthister threat. Together with the rest of his companions in an organization unofficially dubbed the ?Akiba Freedom Fighters,? Nanashi and Shizuku must uncover the truth behind the Synthister plague and save Akiba from being overrun by their kind.

Developed in Japan by ACQUIRE and receiving a Gold Award by Famitsu upon its Japanese release, AKIBA?S TRIP: Undead & Undressed will be released in summer 2014 by XSEED Games in North America on the PlayStation 3 system and PS Vita. XSEED Games will share more information in the coming months. This title has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
