Publisher eastasiasoft has announced Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 is getting an Asian/English release for Nintendo Switch.
The remake of the series’ first game is coming to Nintendo Switch in Asia with English language support sometime this summer. Preorders launch via Playasia on May 1st with both a $39.99 standard and a $59.99 limited edition.
The limited edition includes: a Collector’s Box, the physical game, a Full Color Manual, a Soundtrack CD, a Collector’s Artbook, a Joy-Con Sticker Set, a Switch Minicase, 3 x Standees, and a Numbered Certificate.
The three games were originally planned for a Switch release in the west but had to be cancelled due to not “complying with the Nintendo Guidelines.” The PS4 versions are still getting a western release later in 2025.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its opening movie and some gameplay:
In the world of Gamindustri, four goddesses known as CPUs battled for supremacy in the War of the Guardians. One of the CPUs – Neptune – was defeated by the others and banished from the heavens. In her fall from grace, her memories were lost, but a mysterious book reveals itself to Neptune with knowledge of all of Gaminudstri’s history. Joined by Compa, IF and the sentient book known as Histoire, Neptune embarks on an extraordinary journey across four different nations on a quest to save the entire world!
