Those eager to play Neptunia: Sisters Vs Sisters on the Xbox (Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One) platform will have to wait a little bit longer, as Idea Factory International have confirmed that the release has been delayed until 21st May 2024.
Originally the Xbox version of Neptunia: Sisters Vs Sisters was planned to release on 16th April 2024, but the publisher have opted to delay the release until 21st May 2024 to ensure a smooth launch for the title. It is a little surprising to see the game delayed, but it is the first time that a Neptunia game has been released onto an Xbox platform.
The release date has now been moved to May 21, 2024. As a publisher, we want to ensure that our entry to the Xbox platform launches smoothly, and made the decision to push the release date.
As a reminder this entry of the popular RPG franchise sees Nepgear, Uni, Ram and Rom take centre stage as they battle a new enemy known as Trendi Phenomenon. Naturally fan-favourites Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert will be in the game but (for once) the story will look to bring the CPU Candidates into the spotlight.
Synopsis:
While the Goddesses were out responding to a distress call from the faraway PC Continent, Nepgear and the other Candidates were sent to investigate an abandoned laboratory.
It was there that they found the “Ashen Goddess”, who trapped them in a deep sleep capsule. By the time they awoke, 2 years had already passed. The latest smartphone, the “rPhone”, dominates the market.
Neptune has been missing since her mission to the PC Continent, and in the absence of its Goddess and Candidate, Planeptune was ravaged by a strange new phenomenon, the Trendi Outbreaks.
Suddenly finding herself robbed of home and family, Nepgear falls into a deep depression. This is a story about finding hope in the midst of despair, and the rebirth of a Goddess in the wake of destruction.
