A spiritual successor to Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed, Akiba's Beat is a modern-day satirical spin on a classic Japanese RPG formula and plunges you into the heart of the mecca of Otaku culture, but all is not as it seems!

A haven for music fans, the go-to place for idol obsessives, a one stop shop for household electronics – over the years, Akihabara has meant many things to many people. Now, with dark forces at play, the memories, hopes and dreams of Akihabara’s colorful denizens are becoming a reality. Their delusions are taking physical form and with that, threatening the very fabric of time and reality!

Akiba's Beat is headed to the PS4 and Vita for $49.99 and $39.99 MSRP respectively on May 16, 2017 (May 19 in Europe).

Stuck in a never-ending time loop, it is up to you take on the freakish manifestations of Akihabara in an action RPG like no other! Battle to the Beat, timing your actions to the background music to deal the most damage.

There are two sides to the gameplay: first, players will wander the streets and question the quirky Akihabara residents on a variety of subjects related to the mystery at hand, ultimately unlocking fantasy-themed dungeons known as “Delusionscapes” which are infested with monsters called “deluseons.” These deluseons are encountered on the map and fought in a party-based action battle system, putting players’ skills to the test and creating a uniquely challenging experience that seamlessly blends a real-life locale with the secret delusory world of its residents’ innermost desires.

Meet Electric Town’s colorful characters and form your best team to take on their collective imaginations.

Players who pre-order Akiba's Beatwill receive the game’s “cute little uggo” mascot character, Pinkun, who is phasing into reality as a 3.5” tall pocket plushie  that will come with all pre-orders at participating retailers while supplies last.
