In North America and Europe, Akiba’s Beat is due out for both PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in early 2017. If you need a recap about the game, description and trailer are below:
The game is considered a followup to the two Akiba’s Trip games, but does not share any of its gameplay mechanics, instead focusing more on JRPG related features and structure. The game will play as an action role-playing video game, with battles initiated once the player moves the playable character into an enemy character, sending involved characters into a separate battle screen.
The game takes place in Akihabara and stars protagonist and NEET Asahi Tachibana, living a regular life after deciding to drop out of college. Transfer student, Saki Hoshino, recently moved to the area and runs into Asahi. Other main characters in include Japanese idol Riyu Momose, the very young looking Yamato Hongo.The game involves the party getting stuck in a world of delusions, trapped in a repeating day long cycle on a Sunday. The party also keeps coming across a strange, unidentifiable man in a pink sash, that always seems to be around when unexplainable incidents occur.
