Idea Factory has announced that Super Neptunia RPG is heading to North American and Europe this fall. The side-scrolling RPG will be available for the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. This will be the first time a Neptunia game will be on a Nintendo console and the first time a Neptunia game is being developed in a western country, by a studio named Artisan Studios in Canada.
The game will have English and Japanese audio along with the option to chose French or English subtitles. Super Neptunia RPG will be released both physical and digitally.
In a world where 2D games reign supreme, an organization called Bombyx Mori forces its citizens to churn out 2D games as offerings to their leader. Those who dare to use new technologies or whose games don’t meet their standards risk banishment to the soul-crushing Trial Grounds.
A girl awakens in this world with no recollection of anything beyond her name, Neptune, and soon realizes she possesses great strength. With her newfound sense of heroism and a strange book known as Histoire in hand, she sets off on a journey to see if there might be more than this two-dimensional life!
