Compile Heart Teases New Neptunia Game Project for PS4
posted on by Alex Mateo
Compile Heart began streaming on Monday a teaser video for a new project in the Neptunia franchise titled VVVtunia.
The project will launch on PlayStation 4 in Japan in 2020, and it will commemorate the 25th anniversary of Idea Factory and the 10th anniversary of the Neptunia franchise. Jin (Shizen no Teki-P) will be a creative collaborator on the project.
The story will follow the four goddesses of Gameindustri as they meet a virtual YouTuber, or "VTuber," and work together to rescue “Virtual Land.” More details will be revealed in the next issues of Kadokawa's Weekly Famitsu and Dengeki PlayStation magazines, which will ship on Thursday.
The most recent game in the Neptunia franchise, Super Neptunia RPG (Yūsha Neptune: Sekai yo Uchū yo Katsumoku se yo!! Ultimate RPG Sengen!!), launched in Japan for the PlayStation 4 last December. Quebec-based video game developer Artisan Studios developed the game, and is the first Western studio to develop a game in the franchise. Idea Factory International released the game in the West in June for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
