Neppin’ back to the past
Compile Heart has revealed that its recently announced PS5 releaseGo! Go! 5 Jigen Game Neptune reVerseis not a brand new entry in theHyperdimension Neptuniafranchise, but is in fact a “Definitive Edition” remake of the first title in the series.
As reported in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu,Go! Go! 5 Jigen Game Neptune reVersewill be an enhanced edition of previous remakeHyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Plus,which launched on the PS Vita and PC platforms in 2018.Go! Go! 5will feature several new and reworked elements, including improved balance, the option to take four characters into battle, a completely unlocked cast, revised stats and skills, and a new fishing mini-game.
No release date, nor a western localisation has been announced forGo! Go! 5 Jigen Game Neptune reVerse, but it will retail in Japan for ¥7,600, or roughly $70. Pre-order customers will receive a download code for a copy of last year’s cutesy retro shmupNeptunia Shooter.
It has to be said, it’s a little disappointing that the firstNeptuniatitle to arrive in the next generation will be, essentially, asecondremake of a now decade-old game, at full price no less. Here’s hoping we’ll see all-new adventures from Nep-Nep, Vert, Noire and pals soon.
