Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth Switch eShop Release Delayed

Idea Factory International announced that Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, 2, and 3 won’t appeared on the Switch eShop in North America and Europe on May 21, 2024. The company also didn’t explain why the titles are delayed or when we might expect to see them appear on the system.

Here is the full, short, official statement from Idea Factory International regarding the Switch versions of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, 2, and 3. It originally announced the three games would come to the system back on April 26, 2024. No physical versions were confirmed.

As previously announced, the Neptunia Re;Birth series was set to release digitally on the Nintendo eShop on May 21. We regrettably announce that the digital release for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation is postponed until further notice. Further details will be provided at a later date.

Idea Factory and Compile Heart haven’t made any similar delay announcements regarding the Japanese release of the games yet. Back in February 2024, the developer confirmed that all three of the original titles would appear on the system. 

The three games are available on other platforms right now. For example, one of the easiest ways to acquire and play them is to grab them from Steam. All three of the titles are available there. Each one is the updated release of one of the original three entries in the series.

There’s no updated release date yet for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation for the Nintendo Switch worldwide. The three games are expected to appear on the system in Japan on May 23, 2024. The most recent entry in the series is the spin-off Neptunia Game Maker Re:Evolution, which is available for the PS4, PS5, and Switch.
