Idea Factory International has announced that the next chapter in their long-running Neptunia franchise, Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution, is expected to be released in May 2024. An action RPG experience, this game will be available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch – both physically and digitally – and will support English, French and Spanish (Spain) subtitles for international audiences.
Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution marks the latest addition to the Neptunia series, offering players the challenge of building and managing a game company to turn it into a leading corporation. The game introduces an expanded battle system for a four-person party, exploration of dungeons on a high-speed motorcycle, and the Heartful Photo Mode for creating manga-like creations.
Promoted Features of the game include:
