Through a video announcement on YouTube, Compile Heart President Norihisa Kochiwa announced on August 19 the first PS5Neptuniagame:Go!Go!5 Jigen Game Neptune re★Verse. It’s also the very first game by Compile Heart and Idea Factory on PS5. Nothing else was revealed, and the game will be properly disclosed this September.
This isn’t surprising. Compile Heartpreviously teasedit’s working on at least one PS5 game. Moreover, on August 18, the studio had announcedon Twitterthat a newNeptuniagame would be announced on PS5 via YouTube, on August 19. We do cover announcements of announcements on DualShockers, but time didn’t permit me to take over that one.

We’ll be sure to cover up the follow-up news onGo!Go!5 Jigen Game Neptune re★Versein September. It’ll be interesting to see the game’s title for the western localization when the game comes over too.
I highly respect the developers at Compile Heart, especially those who’ve been with the company since at least the early days of HD consoles and the launch of theNeptune (Neptunia)franchise. In a way it’s amazing the series managed to survive this far and even get a fanbase outside Japan, despite how horrible the very firstNeptuniagame was. I’m genuinely happy for the developers they’ve been able to keep going for over ten years. They have a good sense of humor at times too, and aren’t afraid to be tongue-in-cheek as seen with this reveal video press conference parody.
In Japan, the latestNeptuniaaction game with VTubers,VVVTune,has just been released on August 6. TitledNeptunia Virtual Starsin the west, it’ll be coming over sometime in 2021, exclusively on PS4. You can read more details withour past coverage.
