Idea Factory International has announced the PC release window for Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online.
The pseudo-online action RPG will launch for PC (via Steam) sometime in February of next year. The game’s PC version will support English, Japanese, and Chinese subtitles.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via Idea Factory:
In this hack ‘n’ slash adventure co-developed with Tamsoft and Compile Heart, everyone’s favorite four Goddesses enter an online fantasy game world inspired by…themselves! Joined by the CPU Candidates, you’ll fight in 4-person real-time brawls, unleash devastating Awakening Skills, customize with tons of cosmetic accessories, and even play online with others!
Story
Long ago when the world was nothing but a void, the goddesses created Leanverde, the World Tree.
The mighty Earth and the majestic oceans were born of Leanverde’s sprout, and the goddesses bestowed upon this world the name of Alsgard.
…At least, that’s what the “4 Goddesses Online” MMO is about. Now the real Gamindustri goddesses must log in and hack ‘n’ slash through this game-within-a-game to bring back the creators of Leanverde and defeat the Demon King! With rival beta testers and system glitches galore, what could possibly go wrong?
Key Features
- 4 Person Dungeon Raids – You’ll never go it alone in the dungeons when you’ve got 3 other party members helping exterminate dungeon fodder in this hack ‘n’ slash adventure! Choose the one you control whenever you want!
- You CAN Cast that Here – Be prepped for any situation when you can map multiple skills to each face button, and max out your meter to unleash a flashy “Awakening Skill” that will devastate those who cross you!
- +10 to Fashion – Show off tons of cosmetic gear that can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere! Ever seen a mustachioed fairy pirate DJ? Now you can!
- Nep_Main Joined your Party – Play online with up to three other people for extra loot and harder enemies, plus use the in-game chat feature to really make it feel like an MMO! (It’s not.)

December 8, 2017 at 7:32 pmI doubt Sony pays for Neptunia timed exclusivity, of all things. I think it has more to do with Compile Heart being a small studio.

December 8, 2017 at 9:33 pmNot really. Its just that over in Japan PC gaming isn’t that big. PC version gets released later when interest wains. Idea Factory/’Compile Heart have been doing things this way for a while. They usually discount around 40% the first week or so with PC releases. The quality of their games is debatable, but I like the practices they’ve set in place.
Oh and there’s a Japanese subbed PC release of the older Re;Birth games now so it looks like there was either sufficient enough demand or it was easy. Either way it looks like PC gaming might become less niche.

December 9, 2017 at 12:17 amBut it’s a series targeted towards otaku and weebs. Sony has only shown disdain for such games.
