Publisher Idea Factory International have recently announced that the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth series, which consists of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation, that was due to be released onto the Nintendo eShop within Europe (and North America) today has been postponed until further notice.
Originally the games were announced for a digital only release for today (21st May 2024), but for an unknown reason the release has been postponed until further notice. Interestingly a Nintendo eShop web listing for Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth 3 V Generation is still available in Europe, but is missing crucial information and is not available for purchase.
As previously announced, the Neptunia Re;Birth series was set to release digitally on the Nintendo eShop on May 21. We regrettably announce that the digital release for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation is postponed until further notice. Further details will be provided at a later date.
As a reminder the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth series is a remake of the Hyperdimension Neptunia games released onto the PlayStation 3, and were originally released onto the PS Vita before being ported to Windows PC. More recently an enhanced PlayStation 4 port of the first Re;Birth game, known as Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Plus, was released worldwide, but this will be the first time that all three games will be released onto the Nintendo Switch platform. All three Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth games are turn-based RPG games set in the colourful world of gamindustri, with each title offering a unique story and humour surrounding the world of games.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Overview
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!
Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation Overview
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;Birth 3 V Generation Overview
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?
It is not known when these games will be released, so for the time being we will just have to wait for any updates from Idea Factory International. Amusingly, it has only been a week since the latest Neptunia game release, so at least we’ve still got a Neptunia game to tide us over for now.
