Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth Triology And Death end re;Quest: Code Z Western Releases Cancelled For Switch

Idea Factory International has announced they are cancelling the planned western releases for several games.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, 2, and 3, as well as Death end re;Quest: Code Z will no longer be released for Switch in North America and Europe. According to the publisher, this is because all three games’ contained content that did not comply with Nintendo Guidelines. Death end re;Quest: Code Z will still launch for Playstation in the aforementioned regions as planned.

 Idea Factory International was originally set to release the following Neptunia titles on the Nintendo eShop on May 21: Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation. It was also announced that Death end re;Quest: Code Z was set to launch physically and digitally for Nintendo Switch™ in 2025.

The 3 Neptunia titles and Death end re;Quest: Code Z for North America and Europe will no longer launch on the Nintendo Switch/Nintendo eShop due to the contents of the Re;Birth series and Death end re;Quest: Code Z not complying with the Nintendo Guidelines.

Please note that Death end re;Quest: Code Z will still launch physically and digitally for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5 in 2025.

At the time of this writing, it is not known exactly which “Nintendo Guidelines” the games were not compliant with. We will be sure to report back with more details should they become available.
