Not content with just two titles in the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise under their belt, Idea Factory International have today confirmed that they will also be publishing Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed. This is a PlayStation Vita exclusive 3D hack ‘n’ slash which will be headed to North America and Europe in the first half of 2015.
As you can see from the trailer below, the game is very reminiscent in the approach taken by Omega Force with their Koei Warriors franchise, where you take control of one character and go up against swarms of enemies that stand in your way. Expect to see more gameplay footage and information regarding Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed next year.

Some promoted features of this game include:
Street brawling!: For the first time ever, your favorite Neptunia characters will have to hack ‘n’ slash their way through waves of enemies in real time! In the free-roaming stages, you’ll get to create chain combos both on the ground and in the air.
Two-person party!: With the Dual System, you’ll be able to switch between two characters on the battlefield. Balance out each character’s strengths and weaknesses to create the ultimate battle duo, and even get some new playable characters – some of whom might be familiar from previous Neptunia games.
Let’s get physical!: The heat of battle can cause some wear and tear on your outfits. When you experience a “Costume Break,” your outfits will tear, lowering your defense but increasing your critical rate and EXE Drive Gauge. The road to comebacks is paved with ripped fabric!
Skills get the kills!: Fill up the EXE Drive Gauge in order to clear the room with two tiers of special attacks, and you might just get a helping hand from your friend later on to perform some super special attacks!
