Brave Neptunia Heads West in Fall 2018 as Super Neptunia RPG on PS4 and Switch

Idea Factory International has announced a western release for Brave Neptunia.

The Artisan Studios-developed, side-scrolling RPG will launch via retail and digital storefronts in North America and Europe sometime this fall, for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch – and its localized title is Super Neptunia RPG.


The game will have the original Japanese audio with English voiceover options, as well as English and French subtitles.

Here’s some new screenshots:

Here’s a rundown on the game:


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.

Key Features:

  • Old School Dungeons! Explore gorgeously painted, interactive dungeons in a style inspired by classic gaming titles.
  • Follow the Leader! – Enter turn-based battles where the party’s attack style changes based on the battle leader. Switch leaders on the fly, transform mid-battle, and use elemental attacks to maximize your team’s strategy!
  • Save Gamindustri! – In a time where retro gaming and 3D graphics are at polar ends, this story delves headfirst into the debate for a self-aware ribbing of gaming culture.
  • 2D Comes to Life!  The hand-drawn art of Neptunia series artist Tsunako is brought to life by Artisan Studios, showing the characters in a whole new way!
