Eastasiasoft continues its trend of bringing the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise to the Nintendo Switch in Asia, as today they have announced that they will be releasing Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart onto the Nintendo Switch physically and digitally in Asia with English language support.
So, once again, why exactly am I posting Asian-only game news on a UK outlet? Well that’s because there are currently no plans for the game to be released in the west, and this will be the only way to play the game (in English) on the Nintendo Switch. It’s also worth noting that the game will receive a physical release, with the game being sold through Play-Asia (and potentially other import related retailers).
About: The CPUs of each of the four nations are locked in heated battle against one another for dominion over this world. Just as Noire is one step away from complete domination, the CPUs are suddenly robbed of their powers by an unknown force. Now in order to save the world from destruction, the four CPUs must unite Gamarket and defeat the onslaught!
Unlike previous Hyperdimension Neptunia games, Hyperdevotion Noire is not set within the world of Gamindustri, but instead within a similar, but separate, world known as Gamarket! This time Noire takes the lead in grid-based tactical combat with familiar friends at her side. Customize units, activate special abilities by linking characters through the Lily System and outmaneuver enemies on the battlefield, all the while earning points to personalize your home base in Sim Noire mode!
In addition to the game being released physically (as a Standard Edition) and digitally (through the Nintendo eShop in Asia) a limited edition version will also be made available exclusively through Play-Asia. This Limited Edition will contain a copy of the game (on a physical cartridge) alongside a selection of interesting physical goodies, of which are outlined below.
Limited Edition content:
Physical copy of the game
Acrylic Standees
Art Book
Soundtrack CD
Joy-Con Decals
Mini Case
Numbered Certificate
As it stands Eastasiasoft plan to release Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart physically and digitally onto the Nintendo Switch in Asia during Spring 2026. A release date has not been mentioned, but this Asia release of the game will feature English and Japanese audio and English text support (and looks to be the same text/audio as released previously on Windows PC & PS Vita versions of the game). Further details about this Asia release can be found on the official Eastasiasoft website.
