The first game launched on PSP on May 19, 2011, set in a realistically recreated Akihabara district. Players battled vampires called Kageyashi by stripping their clothes to expose them to sunlight. The sequel Akiba's Trip 2 released in 2013, following a protagonist turned into an artificial vampire called Magaimono. The series expanded into social games, an anime adaptation, and remastered versions. The latest entry, Akiba's Trip 2 Director's Cut, released in 2023, includes a new scenario called Kati Route that adds previously untold truths and new endings. To commemorate the anniversary, Steam is running a sale on the remastered versions until May 26, with discounts of 60 to 70 percent off. The games are also available on Nintendo eShop and PlayStation Store at regular prices.","why_it_matters":"The 1 million sales milestone and 15-year run confirm that a niche concept-a game built around stripping enemies in a real-world Tokyo district-can sustain a franchise across multiple platforms and media adaptations.","published_at":"2026-05-19T08:30:03.000Z","source_count":3,"sources":["Denfaminicogamer","Game Spark","Inside"],"citations":[{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","title":"'AKIBA'S TRIP' Series Celebrates 15th Anniversary, Surpasses 1 Million Units Sold Worldwide","url":"https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/260519r"},{"source":"Game Spark","title":"Realistic Akihabara x Strip Action: The Unique 'AKIBA'S TRIP' Celebrates 15th Anniversary! 60-70% Off Sale on Remastered Versions","url":"http://www.gamespark.jp/article/2026/05/19/166617.html"},{"source":"Inside","title":"Real Akihabara × Strip Action: The Unique 'AKIBA'S TRIP' Celebrates 15th Anniversary! 60-70% Off Sale on Remastered Versions","url":"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/05/19/181534.html"}],"license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"announcement","domain":"games","is_roundup":false}}}
