On May 21, 2024, Idea Factory International made the surprising announcement that the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy’s digital release on the Switch eShop in the West has been postponed until further notice. This delay came as a disappointment to fans who were eagerly anticipating the launch of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation.
Despite the setback in the West, all three titles are still scheduled to arrive in Japan physically and digitally on May 23, 2024. This discrepancy in release dates between regions has left many fans puzzled and wondering about the reasons behind the delay.
Earlier on April 28, 2024, a local release of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy was confirmed for North America and Europe. The game was set to launch digitally in both regions on May 21, 2024. This announcement sparked excitement among fans who were looking forward to experiencing the beloved series on the Nintendo Switch.
To kick off 2024, Idea Factory revealed plans to release the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy series on the Switch eShop. The trilogy follows the story of four CPUs (Goddesses) in a battle for supremacy known as the War of the Guardians. One of the CPUs, Neptune, is defeated and banished from the heavens, leading to an epic journey to save the world. The game features zany JRPG madness, classic Neptunia RPG style battles, and customizable gameplay options.
In the world of Gamindustri, morality has all but vanished, with rumors that a majority of students worship a being known as Arfoire. The game immerses players in a world filled with chaos and disorder, where Neptune must navigate through different nations to restore peace and order. With unique equipment crafting, customizable difficulty settings, and real-time dungeon minigames, players are in for an exciting and engaging experience.
Neptune’s journey takes a twist when she is transported to an alternate dimension of Gamindustri. In order to escape, she must collect enough shares to open a path back to her own dimension. However, a nefarious alliance called the Seven Sages poses a threat to all CPUs, including Neptune. Players must customize attack combinations, strategize gameplay with Plans, and craft powerful equipment to overcome these challenges.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding the release of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy on the Switch, the unexpected delay has left fans disappointed and eager for more information. The discrepancy in release dates between regions adds a layer of uncertainty to the situation. As fans await further details from Idea Factory International, the anticipation for the trilogy collection remains high among the gaming community. Players are hopeful that the delay is temporary and that they will soon be able to embark on Neptune’s epic journey on the Nintendo Switch.
