Idea Factory International will release the PlayStation 4 versions of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 +, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation both physically and digitally in North America and Europe in 2025, the publisher announced. Details on the physical release, as well as the PlayStation Store pages, will be available at a later date.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 +, an enhanced port of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1, originally launched for PlayStation 4 on May 31, 2018 in Japan. While it was never released in the west, the PlayStation 5 title Neptunia ReVerse, which is a further enhanced version, was released worldwide.
PlayStation 4 versions of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation were released in Japan alongside Switch versions on May 23, 2024. A Switch port of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 was also released on the same date.
The Switch versions of the trilogy were originally planned to release in the west, but were cancelled after being informed the games “did not comply with Nintendo Guidelines.” Idea Factory International originally told GPlayr it had “no plans” to release the PlayStation 4 versions—which has now changed.
Here is an overview of each game, via Idea Factory International:
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 +
Story
In the world of Gamindustri, four CPUs (also known as Goddesses) 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, Neptune’s memories were lost, but a mysterious book revealed itself to her 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!
Key Features

20XX. Gamindustri faces a dire crisis! Ever since the advent of ASIC—the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime—morality has all but vanished. As much as 80 percent of all students are rumored to worship a being known as Arfoire, and the authorities have chosen to turn a blind eye to the threat. Basically, Gamindustri is pretty messed up, you guys. Ahem. Thus did Gamindustri fall into complete and utter disarray.
Will the Goddesses be able to reclaim their world from ASIC’s grasp, or will they be forced to wander the Gamindustri Graveyard, forever lost?

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation
Story
It’s time to Nep-Nep like it’s 1989. Neptune’s been sucked into an alternate dimension of Gamindustri! In order for her to escape from this late ‘80s world, Neptune will have to collect enough shares to open up the path to her own dimension. Sounds easy enough – except a nefarious alliance called the Seven Sages wants to rid Gamindustri of all CPUs (also known as Goddesses), including Neptune!
Forging cross-dimensional friendships, will Neptune be able to defeat the Seven Sages, save this alternate dimension and get back to her own, or will she be stuck in the ‘80s forever?
