Original (3/3): XSEED Games and Marvelous have narrowed down the launch window for Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut in the west. We now know that the English version is slated for Summer 2023.

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut is currently planned to debut this April in Japan. The overseas release was previously confirmed for 2023.

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut will be sold both physically and digitally. A Day 1 Edition is planned at retail, priced at $39.99. Copies include the game, a musical selections CD, and a set of nine oversized art cards featuring original illustrations by various Japanese artists to commemorate the 10-year anniversary since the release of the original title.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Updated from its original release for a new generation, Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut places players in the role of Nanashi, an otaku mysteriously transformed into a vampire and thrust into a conspiracy of “Synthisters” plaguing the electronics mecca. Alongside a colorful cast of allies known as the “Akiba Freedom Fighters,” Nanashi must defend his fellow otaku from vampire predators, discovering that the best strategy to defeat them is to strip them of their bare essentials and expose them to the cleansing power of the sun! Featuring a fully voiced “true ending” route starring lovable maid Kati, original side quests introducing more offbeat otaku denizens of Akihabara, and an arsenal of new weapons and armor, AKIBA’S TRIP: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut brings modern supernatural adventure for the Japanophile of discerning tastes.
