This means that players will the option of freely swapping between Japanese and English voiceovers as they make their way through the game.

It sounds like a simple feature to add, but Xseed informed us that it wasn't an easy feat - Akiba's Trip has nearly 10,000 lines of spoken dialog, all of which were translated into English.

Gender blender

Xseed also confirmed that players will be able to view "strip portraits" for all of the prominent male side characters in Akiba's, just like they can for all of the female ones.

This is a new feature included for the North American release, and is a welcome bit of gender equality.

What's more, players can uses these stripped-down hunks of manflesh as the wallpapers for their in-game smartphones if they so choose.

Newcomers might wonder why anyone's getting stripped at all in Akiba's Trip, but the answer is deceptively simple: they're probably vampires.

The plot of Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed revolves around a demonic beings known as Synthisters who've infiltrated Tokyo's otaku paradise, Akihabara.

Players control members of the Akiba Freedom Fighters who must best these Synthisters in combat and then tear their clothes off - all in the name of exposing them their one weakness: sunlight.

Stripping vampires aside, Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed offers players a chance to explore a painstakingly rendered version of Akihabara which includes in-game representations of real-world stores and maid cafés.

We don't have a release date for Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed past "this summer", but we'll keep you updated when we know more.
