With the Hyperdimension Neptunia video game franchise being one of Idea Factory International’s most iconic franchises, it should come as no surprise that the western publisher is continuing to localise and offer new titles as they become available in Japan. Close off the heels of Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online, IFI have confirmed that Megadimension Neptunia VIIR will be released in North America and Europe in Spring 2018.
Pronounced Megadimension Neptunia V-two-R, this is an enhanced version of 2016’s Megadimension Neptunia VII, and offered exclusively on the PlayStation 4. This enhanced edition is expected to come with smoother graphics courtesy of a new engine and an overhauled battle system.
But one of the game’s biggest additions is support for the PlayStation VR unit. According to Idea Factory International, you will be able to “Hang out one-on-one with each of the Gamindustri Goddesses, listen to their conversations, and watch as the Goddesses react to you’. The characters will engage with you within a customisable room.
Expect to hear more about Megadimension Neptunia VII in the coming months, You can read my review of the original 2016 release HERE.
The Story of Megadimension Neptunia VIIR
Gamindustri – a world sitting at the convergence of multiple dimensions. Of these existed the Zero Dimension, a world on the brink of collapse.
Zero Dimension’s last guardian, Uzume Tennouboshi, waged a war against a mysterious evil known as the Dark CPU. Her desperate cries for help crossed dimensions and reached Neptune, the CPU of Planeptune, who would leave her world to join the fight.
Their fateful meeting would open the path to a new adventure.
And once their world is saved, they’ll join you in yours!
