Alright, listen up, gamers! IzanagiGames is teaming up with Nippon TV and AX-ON to bring us something totally different: AKIBA LOST, a "full-scale live-action game." I know, right? It sounds wild!

So, what's it all about? Well, imagine a game where you're not just controlling characters, but you're watching real actors make choices that shape the story. That's AKIBA LOST! You'll be diving into a mystery surrounding the disappearance of six girls in Akihabara thirteen years ago. It's a case known as "Akiba's Spirited Away," and it sounds super intriguing.

You'll be playing as Daiki Shinjo, a game creator who announces a new game based on this very incident. But here's the twist: strange disappearances start happening again. Creepy, huh? You get to switch between Shinjo and six different female characters, each with their own connection to Akihabara's vibrant culture. It's like getting multiple perspectives on the same mystery, which I think is a really cool idea.

Choices, Choices...

One of the things that really grabbed my attention is the focus on choices. It sounds like your decisions will have a real impact on how the story unfolds. With over 20 hours of filmed footage and 100,000 still images, this game is packing some serious content.

I'm personally stoked to see how this live-action concept plays out. It's a bold move, but if they pull it off, it could be a game-changer (pun intended!). AKIBA LOST is set to launch on PS5, Switch 2 (yes, you read that right!), Switch, and PC via Steam in 2026.

If you are as hyped as I am, keep an eye on this one!
