THE MAIDS ARE AT YOUR SERVICE! NEW AKIBA’S BEAT TRAILER TEASES HELPER MAIDS AND SECRET CHARACTERS

Who Do You Want Taking Point on Your Expedition?

With just seven days left until the May 16 launch of AKIBA’S BEAT, XSEED Games released a new trailer featuring the game’s cast of marvelous Maids. Headed to PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita systems, the satirical JRPG features dual audio support with both English and Japanese language dialog options covering each of its nearly 22,000 spoken lines. Players who pre-order AKIBA’S BEAT can still receive the game’s mascot character, Pinkun, who comes to life as a pocket plushie.

When every day is Sunday and the streets of Akihabara lead to “Delusionscapes” filled with monsters, maids can be your greatest guides. Once you’ve convinced them to join you, they’ll alert you to whatever’s nearby – treasure, enemies, Delusionscapes, the works! If you’re lucky, they might even help you out a little in battle.

Maid Characters’ English Voice Cast

• Moé Suzumori – played by Alexis Tipton
• Yoshino Saionji – played by Lauren Landa
• Kanata Saotome – played by Karen Strassman
• …and more?

Further information on the game’s characters, narrative, and otaku offerings can be found on the recently launched website at http://www.akibasbeat.com.

About AKIBA’S BEAT

A spiritual successor to AKIBA’S TRIP: Undead & Undressed, AKIBA’S BEAT is a modern-day satirical spin on the classic Japanese RPG formula. Set in a true-to-life recreation of Tokyo’s Akihabara district (“Akiba” for short), players will take control of a party of characters led by protagonist Asahi Tachibana as they seek to rid the town of anything out of sync with reality during a repeating Sunday from which none of them are able to break away.

There are two sides to the gameplay: first, players will wander the streets and question the quirky Akihabara residents on a variety of subjects related to the mystery at hand, ultimately unlocking fantasy-themed dungeons known as “Delusionscapes” which are infested with monsters called “deluseons.” These deluseons are encountered on the map and fought in a party-based action battle system, putting players’ skills to the test and creating a uniquely challenging experience that seamlessly blends a real-life locale with the secret delusory world of its residents’ innermost desires.

AKIBA’S BEAT also features dual audio support with both English and Japanese language dialog options covering each of its nearly 22,000 spoken lines. Players who pre-order AKIBA’S BEAT will receive the game’s “cute little uggo” mascot character, Pinkun, who is phasing into reality as a 3.5” tall pocket plushie that will come with all pre-orders at participating retailers while supplies last.

Developed by ACQUIRE and published in North America by XSEED Games, AKIBA’S BEAT is headed to the PS4™ and “PSVita” systems for $49.99 and $39.99 MSRP respectively on May 16, 2017.  This title has been rated “T for Teen” by the ESRB. PQube will be bringing the title to Europe on May 19.

Curve Digital and Tomas Sakalauskas Release Cult Sensation Human: Fall Flat Onto PlayStation®4 Today

Surreal Puzzle Game to Also Launch on Xbox One This Friday

[LONDON – May 9, 2017] It’s time for console gamers to discover the physics-defying and rule-breaking hilarity that made Human: Fall Flat a cult phenomenon on Steam now that developer Tomas Sakalauskas and publisher Curve Digital have released the surreal puzzle game onto PlayStation 4 and in gorgeous 4K resolution on PlayStation 4 Pro today for $14.99. Xbox gamers can join in the action this Friday when Human: Fall Flat releases onto Xbox One for the same price.

Human: Fall Flat jumps onto console with additional content, brand new puzzles and a bespoke customization option that is also now available in the Steam version. In Human: Fall Flat players escape surreal dreamscapes by solving open-ended puzzles while struggling with intentionally unsteady controls that result in hysterical clumsiness and potentially endless falling.

After releasing on Steam last year to considerable praise, Human: Fall Flat became a YouTube phenomenon, garnering more than 100 million cumulative views thanks to the game’s hilarious gameplay that had people discover their own solutions to overcome obstacles and “work” together as best they can to solve the puzzles in co-op mode.

“Human: Fall Flat’s co-op mode is a perfect fit for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One thanks to the game’s intentionally unsteady controls,” said Tomas Sakalauskas, developer of Human: Fall Flat. “Players will spend hours laughing at the unique situations that arise when two people struggle to pull, lift and push their way through the game.”

Playing as Bob, players have complete control over his arms and movement. At first, this can make it challenging to traverse this beautiful yet deadly world. However, players who learn to master Bob’s movement will be rewarded with a wealth of opportunities to break the rules and beat the challenging puzzles that block their path. Bob can pull stuff. He can push stuff. He can kick stuff. He can carry stuff. He can climb stuff. He can break stuff. And he can use stuff on other stuff to make even more stuff happen. It’s all up to you – want to open that mysterious door? Or would you rather see how far you can throw a speaker set out that window?

For more information on Human: Fall Flat’s console versions, please visit the game’s website, or Curve Digital’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
