Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos launches January 2025 in the west

September 24: Today, Idea Factory shared the release window for Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos in the west. Switch players in North America and Europe can get their hands on the game starting in January 2025. An exact date will be provided later.

Also confirmed today is that Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos will be offering a Deluxe Edition. The latter includes the digital game, digital art book (35 pages), soundtrack (ten tracks), and Costume Set offering a costume per set for Uzume Neptune, Noire, Blanc, and Vert (swimsuit, apocalyptic, and race queen). Note that the Costume Set will also be available as a standalone DLC on launch.

Here’s an overview of the game:

This dimension is different from Gamindustri…

A vast number of distinct Dogoos are appearing and threatening to cover the land.

To escape from this otherworldly realm, a lone rider surveys the mysterious world in search of an exit.

Key Features

• Dogoo Day Care — Choose from 6 playable characters, scour the land on your trusty bike, and collect as many variants of Dogoos as possible to win! As players progress through 15 Dogoo-filled stages, Uzume must find a way to snap her friends out of their weird fascination with Dogoos!
• The Dogoo Bounty Hunter — Collecting Dogoos can be a cinch, but stealing Dogoos is a whole ‘notha ball game! Certain characters shine more in close combat, while others excel in long-range attacks. Find the strengths (and weaknesses, of course!) to become a true Dogoo bounty hunter!
• These Dogoos Do Bike Back — As squishy and adorable as these Dogoos are, some can be quite the menace. Each Dogoo has specific types of behaviors, as well as positive/negative effects when collecting them. By learning the positive and negative effects of the Dogoos, you can use them to your advantage and even throw the nasty ones to your opponent!
• Stunt Your Bike — Want to show off your ride in the next bike meet? Impress (or scare?) Dogoos by altering the bike’s body, muffler, tires, and other accessories! These customizations can give the Goddesses increased defense, max speed, acceleration, and even maneuverability. These upgrades can ultimately give you the winning edge!
