Following rumors and leaks, XSEED Games has confirmed they are bringing Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim and Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed to PC. Ark of Napishtim will be available through GOG and Steam, while Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed will be exclusive to Steam.

Both titles will arrive on the platform some time this spring.

Ys VI originally saw a release on PC in Japan back in 2003, and Westerners got the game on PS2 in 2005, and later on the PSP in 2006. The game was the first 3D entry in the Ys series. The PC port will come with PC-exclusive features.

Here’s the press release:

Formerly only available in North America on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable systems, Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim delivers a storyline rich with memorable characters and themes on top of engaging hack-and-slash action RPG gameplay that would go on to influence later Ys titles, setting the foundation that series favorites Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin were later built upon. Complete with the original high-resolution graphics and full USB controller support, the PC version of Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim introduces brand-new features exclusive to this PC version that aim to create a modernized gameplay experience more in line with later Ys entries. Among these features are full widescreen support, the ability to warp among checkpoints, and an optional “Catastrophe Mode” in which healing items can’t be purchased or stored and are instead used automatically on pickup.

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed, on the other hand, gets full Steam OS support, as well as USB controller support. Here’s the press release:

In Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed, players take an eclectic trip through a meticulous recreation of Tokyo’s “Electric Town” district, Akihabara (Akiba for short), where they will engage in real-time action RPG-style battles against vampiric foes called “Synthisters” who prey on the district’s anime- and game-obsessed patrons. They feast on their victims’ social energy and will to live rather than their blood, and only direct exposure to sunlight can stop them in their tracks. So, naturally, the logical thing to do is strip them down to their skivvies and watch them melt away!

In addition to Steam achievements and USB controller support, the PC edition of Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed offers the built-in “Visual Editor” feature from the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system version of the game, which makes it possible to completely alter the game’s appearance either through a series of preset visual filters or through individual toggles and sliders for each aspect of the game’s lighting and rendering systems.

A specific release date was not set for either game, but we’ll keep you updated.
