It’s been a hot Summer for Nintendo Switch owners, and the heat just got turned up thanks to Idea Factory. Idea Factory announced that Megadimension Neptunia VII, the seventh primary installment in the Neptunia games, is heading to the Nintendo Switch on July 28th. The news comes following the announcement that the same was slated for a Summer 2020 release on April 2nd.
Megadimension Neptunia VII, originally launched in 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and PC, is a sci-fi JRPG where the characters and world are personifications of real-life video games and consoles. Spanning several main entries and a multitude of spin offs, the franchise has been lauded for its designs, characters, and humor, oftentimes breaking the fourth wall. Accompanying the new is a new gameplay trailer, as well as the confirmation that all previously released DLC is being folded into the Nintendo Switch release. The premise of Megadimension Neptunia VII is set below.
G.C. 2015 — Gamindustri has entered a precarious season known as the CPU Shift Period. During this time of social unrest, deprecating rumors about the Goddesses have begun to saturate Gamindustri. Neptune and the others worry the citizens will soon call for new leaders to replace them and end their rule.
In these critical moments for Planeptune, Neptune and Nepgear mysteriously disappear. Their destination: a divergent world, nearing its catastrophic end, called the Zero Dimension. They encounter the last remaining Goddess of this world, Uzume Tennouboshi, who is desperately waging a lonely battle against a colossal evil known as the Dark CPU.
Will Neptune and Nepgear be able to work together with Uzume in order to save Zero Dimension from tragedy? So begins a new adventure for Neptune…
