The anticipation for the release of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy on the Nintendo Switch in the West has been abruptly halted with the announcement of a unexpected postponement by Idea Factory International. Originally scheduled to arrive on the Switch eShop on May 21, 2024, fans were eagerly awaiting the digital release of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation. However, the game has been delayed “until further notice” according to the official statement released by Idea Factory International.
Fans of the series were met with disappointment as they were looking forward to diving into the zany JRPG madness of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth series on the Nintendo Switch. The sudden announcement of the postponement has left many questioning the reasons behind the delay and anxiously awaiting further details that will be shared at a later date. The local release of the trilogy has been eagerly anticipated, especially after the confirmation of a digital launch in both North America and Europe next month.
It is interesting to note that while the Western release of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy has been postponed indefinitely, the titles are still set to arrive in Japan physically and digitally later this week on 23rd May 2024. This discrepancy in release dates between regions raises questions about the reasons behind the delay in the West and whether there are specific issues that need to be addressed before the game can be released.
The Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy follows the story of Gamindustri, where four CPUs, also known as Goddesses, battle for supremacy in the War of the Guardians. One of the CPUs, Neptune, is defeated by the others and banished from the heavens, losing her memories in the process. Joined by Compa, IF, and the sentient book known as Histoire, Neptune embarks on a quest to save the world across four different nations. The game promises a blend of classic Neptunia RPG style battles, customizable enemy difficulty with Plans, gear crafting, and a rich storyline filled with zany JRPG madness.
The postponement of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy on the Nintendo Switch in the West has come as a disappointment to fans eagerly awaiting the release of the beloved series. The discrepancy in release dates between regions raises questions about the reasons behind the delay and the potential issues that need to be addressed before the game can be launched. Despite the setback, fans remain hopeful that the game will eventually make its way to the Western market, bringing with it the unique blend of storytelling and gameplay that the Hyperdimension Neptunia series is known for.
