PQube have announced an AKIBA’S BEAT European release! I’m sure lots of people will be pleased with that! It will also be part of PQube’s showcase at MCM this weekend! Check out the trailer below:

Asahi Tachibana is one of a chosen few unaffected by a temporal loop that is making Sunday play on repeat. On top of this, the city is being altered by people’s delusions, as their memories and dreams of Akihabara become reality! It’s up to Asahi and the others to traverse the labyrinthine dungeons of these delusions and restore order to Akiba! Pretty interesting stuff!

I’m super excited about this game! The art is so pretty and the music-based battle mechanic looks like a great change of pace!

AKIBA’S BEAT has no connection to the previous AKIBA’S TRIP except the setting, and instead plays like a JRPG. Coincidentally, this will be PQube’s first JRPG release!

AKIBA’S BEAT will be released for PS4 and PS Vita in Q1 2017.
