Posted on September 26, 2023 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Idea Factory will release an English version of Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters on Switch in the west, the company confirmed today. The title is planned for 2024 in both North America and Europe.
Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters was previously announced for Switch, but only in Japan. It has been available in that region since August.
Here’s an overview with more information:
While the Goddesses were out responding to a distress call from the faraway PC Continent, Nepgear and the other Candidates were sent to investigate an abandoned laboratory. It was there that they found the “Ashen Goddess”, who trapped them in a deep sleep capsule. By the time they awoke, 2 years had already passed. The latest smartphone, the “rPhone”, dominates the market.
Neptune has been missing since her mission to the PC Continent, and in the absence of its Goddess and Candidate, Planeptune was ravaged by a strange new phenomenon, the Trendi Outbreaks. Suddenly finding herself robbed of home and family, Nepgear falls into a deep depression.
This is a story about finding hope in the midst of despair, and the rebirth of a Goddess in the wake of destruction.
