MCM Comic Con London is usually a time that sees a lot of anime announcements, as we did, but games while present are never at the forefront of the event in terms of reveals. PQube is looking to buck this trend and unveiled a couple of things around the event.
On Thursday 27th October, the day before MCM Comic Con, PQube announced that they will be releasing Akiba’s Beat for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Europe in Q1 2017. Akiba’s Beat is considered a sequel to the two Akiba’s Trip games, Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed was released in Europe by NIS America, but is the first JRPG entry in the series.
