North American game publisher XSEED Games announced at AkibaFest in Los Angeles on Saturday that it will offer both English and Japanese audio tracks on its Akiba’s Beat game for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. Both tracks will be available on the PlayStation 4 disc, while the Japanese voice overs will be available via free downloadable content for PlayStation Vita.
XSEED Games plans to release the game in North America in the first quarter of 2017, after a delay from its original winter release schedule. Players who preorder the game will receive a 3.5″ plushie of the game’s mascot character Pinkun.
The game is slated for PlayStation 4 in Japan on December 15 after a delay. The Japanese release date for PlayStation Vita has not yet been announced.
The game is a successor to the Akiba’s Trip series of games, but is the first “action RPG” in the series. XSEED Games released the second game in the series as Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed, also with dual audio.
