Ripping the clothes off anyone in public may be enough to land you with a pretty severe sexual assault charge, but in upcoming PlayStation 3 and Vita title Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed, you can at least tell the police that you’re actually saving the planet. XSEED has announced that the cult Acquire developed title is heading to North America this summer, no doubt thrilling naturists around the world.
Set in the famous Japanese electronics district Akihabara, the title sees you repelling a sinister menace known as the Synthisters, who are preying on Tokyo’s otaku, draining their will to live and socialise. However, because these vampirish foes are indistinguishable to ordinary residents, you’ll need to use a special in-game smartphone app to track them down, and then strip them of their clothes. Doing so will expose them to the sun – and give you a good eyeful of flesh in the process.
Sound weird? That’s because it is, but we must say that we’re quite taken by the title’s cheerful interpretation of the popular shopping quarter. Despite being the second title in the series, this is the first entry to make its way overseas. You can check out a teaser trailer below, which hints at the risqué action on the way. Will you be wearing an extra layer of clothing next time you head outside? Cover yourself up in the comments section below.

Yep this game will be open to all types of exposure.
Thank you Japan, it seems they're one of the few places we can rely on for a sense of humour in games. There ain't much about I don't think outside Japanese titles other than the upcoming Stick of Truth.
great news...played the chinese version of akiba trip 2,great game
Looks like Japan is at it again.
"This game is anticipated to be rated Mature."
Noooo...ya think? I'm amazed they can push this out and still can't justify releasing certain other fan-favorite titles. I hope XSeed know what they're doing...
This is too funny!
And yet there are at least half a dozen better games just rotting over there without localisation. They'll take a risk on this game, but no, no, it's too risky to localise these other ones. Maybe XSEED is allowing the wrong body part to make it's decisions?
GOTY
I trust Xseed. Not enough to purchase this without some good reviews, but it just can't be another one of THOSE games (Monpiece!).
this year localization for vita is top notch.
so many translated, hope it will continue next years
We dont get yakuza 5 but this we get? -_-
That logic.
"We won't take a risk on releasing amazing fighters or action adventure games or rpgs we KNOW won't sell well, but lets release a hentai game"
What is with XSeed's obsession with risky titles lately?
Never thought a game like this would be released outside of Japan.
@Spidernoir Hentai? Boy if you think this is hentai be surprised after you see real hentai... This is way more ecchi.
I am so happy that Xseed bring Akiba's trip 2 to the West as psychical and doesn't censor it.
Now I just wait on European publisher that will do the same.
That trailer was kind of useless, no? And I'm not talking about the lack of stripping, the game could be a train sim from that trailer.
I do very much like how "Akiba's Trip" looks like "Akiba Strip" in the title though.
