Long-time fans of the Akiba’s Trip series will be pleased to hear that Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed is being remastered for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. As part of Shacknews E5 2021, we had the chance to speak with Jason Higa about bringing the game to a new platform. Please, take a moment to check out the exclusive interview below.

For those not in the know, Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed is a game about taking down Synthisters by exposing them to direct sunlight. How might you do this? Why, by attacking them and removing clothing of course! The game was originally released for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PSVita back in 2014
