New Neptunia game will arrive to the west as Super Neptunia RPG this Fall
The side-scrolling action arrives later this year
Idea Factory International announced that the upcoming new Neptunia game is heading towards the west this fall 2018 and will be called Super Neptunia RPG. This new entry to the Hyperdimenion Neptunia series is coming to PS4 and the first time for the series to be launch on Nintendo Switch.
This is also the first time for a Neptunia game to be played as a side-scrolling RPG and be developed outside of Japan. In this game, Neptune and friends will lose their memories and be transported to a 2D world ruled by an organization called Bombyx Mori who forces all people to worship and create 2D games. While those who dare to make 3D games and refuse to use the old-fashioned 2D ways are branded as sinners and are banished to the soul-crushing Trial Grounds.
