Hello all, a very late-to-the-party Dengekiko here, with an exciting announcement:


Sorry I have been away, but sometimes being an ace reporter takes you away from things! Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that the game Neptunia Virtual Stars has been released in North America for the PS4! Here are the scheduled release dates for Europe and Steam:

EU: March 5th (PS4)
Steam (all regions): March 29th

This is a spin-off series of the Neptunia franchise, and sees all our favorite goddesses (no CPU candidates sadly) in a third-person shooter realm, similar to what you would see in Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet. However, Nep-Nep, Blanc, Vert and the lovable Noire get help this time from some famous VTubers, so it looks to be very exciting indeed! :)

You can purchase or pre-order the Limited Edition version of the game for the PS4 by visiting the following links for both NA and EU stores, respectively:

NA: https://www.iffysonlinestore.com/neptunia-virtual-stars-LE/
EU: https://store.iffyseurope.com/collections/frontpage/products/neptunia-virtual-stars-ps4-limited-edition

Well, that's all for now! This is Dengekiko~ signing off for now!

Hi all, Dengekiko here, with an exciting announcement:


Yes, it has definitely been awhile, but at last we have some new info on an upcoming Neptunia game! Idea Factory International (IFI) announced that the game Neptunia Virtual Stars will be coming to the west for the PS4 in 2021! This is not a mainline title in the series however; it is a musical hack-and-slash spinoff, which resembles the older Neptunia U and [/i]4GO[/i] games. Here is some more detail on this upcoming game:

Taken directly from IFI's website:
The Goddesses and virtual stars team up to take down the Anti! We are excited to announce that the music-based hack ‘n’ slash game, Neptunia™ Virtual Stars, will arrive physically and digitally for PlayStation®4 in 2021!

Story
In a dimension called Virtualand, the virtual planets that exist within it contain an extraordinary ability to produce a commodity known as content. Of these celestial bodies is a tranquil planet known as EMO. This was the latest target of a nefarious group whose sole purpose is to destroy content created by virtual planets... Anti. Their decimation of EMO has left its citizens hopeless.

Just then, VTubers, popular live-streamers from Earth, were suddenly transported to Virtualand. Because VTubers possess an affinity for creating good content, they were obvious targets for Anti, who quickly captured them and turned them into data pockets known as V Cubes.

Fair, the Virtual Goddess and leader of Planet EMO, sent out a distress signal to multiple dimensions in the hopes of a miracle. Two groups received the signal - the rising VTuber stars, Mi and Yu, members of MEWTRAL, as well as the Goddesses of Gamindustri: Neptune, Noire, Blanc, and Vert. Both parties, now entering unfamiliar terrain, decide to team up to duke it out against Anti! Can they band together and save planet EMO from complete destruction?

While not what we Neptunia fans have been wanting for some time, at least it is something that may lead into a mainline title at some point. Here's to wishful thinking! :)

Hi all! While I'm trying to finish up my last minute Christmas shopping here (what DO you get for a Planeptune CPU anyway?), I just wanted to take time out and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Hopefully, we'll be back next year with some more Nep-related news!

Take care!

Hi all, Dengekiko here, with an exciting annuncement!

First of all, it sure has been awhile! But, I am glad to inform you that the Neptunia franchise is apparently alive and well! With that, news of a new Neptunia game, entitled VVVtunia, is slated to be relased sometime in 2020 in Japan for the PS4. It looks to be another spin-ff game, and nothing new to the main story of the series. You can read more about it over at Gematsu's website:

It is set to coincide with both the 10th anniversary of Hyperdimension Neptunia, and the 25th anniversary of Idea Factory. Well, any Nep news is good news!!! :)
