The Akiba's Trip games take place in a reproduction of Tokyo's Akihabara district, where the player must fight vampires by tearing off their clothes and exposing them to the sunlight.
XSEED Games released Acquire's Akiba's Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed game for PS4, Switch, and PC via Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store in July 2021. The game is a remaster of Akiba's Trip Plus for PSP.
The Akiba's Beat successor game is the first action RPG in the franchise, and it shipped in Japan for PS4 in December 2016 and for PS Vita in March 2017 after delays. XSEED Games released the game in North America in May 2017, and PQube released the game in Europe the same month.
The Akiba's Trip Festa! PC browser and Android game launched in November 2016.
The game series inspired Akiba's Trip: The Animation in January 2017. Crunchyroll streamed the series with English subtitles as it aired, and Funimation streamed a dub.
