Akiba's Beat gets a May western release date

Wow, May may well be the Vita's last hurrah, with a slate of big games kicking in the doors. Akiba's Beat is the latest to arrive, joining The Caligula Effect, Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds, Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception and Summon Night 6 among others. Sure, there's plenty more to come, but May is rammed with hopefully great games. Akiba's Beat hits the EU on the 19th thanks to PQube.


Unlike the stripping vampires of Akiba's Trip, this episode sees mysterious events taking place in Akihabara, the world-famous district of Tokyo where technology and culture meet. Twisted by a sinister presence, the people’s memories, hopes and dreams manifest in reality and warp Akiba in strange ways, the town is now stuck in a time loop, causing dangerous distortions in the very fabric of space and time!
