The Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy will launch for PlayStation 4 in the West this year

​

The release of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy in the West didn’t go to plan; the three games were supposed to launch for Western Nintendo Switch consoles last May to coincide with their Japanese release, but Nintendo decided that games did not comply with its guidelines and all were cancelled for that platform. And that seemed like the end of that. Then today… surprise! Idea Factory International will still bring the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy West for PlayStation 4 rather than Nintendo Switch. All games will be available digitally and physically this year.

The trilogy includes Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 +, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation. I’ve included the description of each from Idea Factory International.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 +​

(See header image.)

In the world of Gamindustri, four CPUs (also known as Goddesses) battled for supremacy in the War of the Guardians. One of the CPUs – Neptune – was defeated by the others and banished from the heavens. In her fall from grace, Neptune’s memories were lost, but a mysterious book revealed itself to her with knowledge of all of Gaminudstri’s history. Joined by Compa, IF, and the sentient book known as Histoire, Neptune embarks on an extraordinary journey across four different nations on a quest to save the entire world!

​

20XX – Gamindustri faces a dire crisis! Ever since the advent of ASIC—the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime—morality has all but vanished. As much as 80 percent of all students are rumored to worship a being known as Arfoire, and the authorities have chosen to turn a blind eye to the threat. Basically, Gamindustri is pretty messed up, you guys. Ahem. Thus did Gamindustri fall into complete and utter disarray. Will the Goddesses be able to reclaim their world from ASIC’s grasp, or will they be forced to wander the Gamindustri Graveyard, forever lost?

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation​

​

It’s time to Nep-Nep like it’s 1989. Neptune’s been sucked into an alternate dimension of Gamindustri! In order for her to escape from this late ‘80s world, Neptune will have to collect enough shares to open up the path to her own dimension. Sounds easy enough – except a nefarious alliance called the Seven Sages wants to rid Gamindustri of all CPUs (also known as Goddesses), including Neptune! Forging cross-dimensional friendships, will Neptune be able to defeat the Seven Sages, save this alternate dimension and get back to her own, or will she be stuck in the ‘80s forever?

Developed by Idea Factory/Compile Heart/Felistella and published in the West by Idea Factory International, the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy will be released digitally and physically for PlayStation 4 this year.
