Akiba's Beat Game's English-Subtitled Trailers Profile Riyu, Yamato, Kotomi

XSEED Games streamed three character trailers for Acquire's Akiba's Beat PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita game over the past week. The videos introduce the characters Riyu Momose (Erii Yamazaki), Yamato Hongo (Nobuhiko Okamoto), and Kotomi Sanada (Sumire Uesaka). All feature English text for the game.

Acquire will release the game for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan this winter, after a delay from its original fall release date. XSEED Games previously said that it will release the game this winter in English on the same systems.

Kōta Takano is directing the game. ClariS is performing the game's theme song "again."

First print editions in Japan will come with production materials, a soundtrack CD with all seven characters songs, and a download code for white idol outfits for all seven main characters.

The game is a successor to the Akiba's Trip series of games, but is the first "action RPG" in the series.
