The outlandish – and, frankly, off-the-wall – Hyperdimension Neptunia spin-off game, Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos, will release physically and digitally in the west next year for PS5 and PS4. The game – which is already available in Japan – takes the series in an unexpected direction, where you use a motorcycle to gather non-descript coloured blobs in large maps.
There’s a competitive aspect to the gameplay, where you need to compete against rival riders to accumulate more Dogoos than them. “Certain characters shine more in close combat, while others excel in long-range attacks,” the press release reveals. “Find the strengths (and weaknesses, of course) to become a true Dogoo bounty hunter!”
This game didn’t exactly set the sales charts alight when it launched in Japan, and reviews were middling at best, but there’s a PS2 energy to these types of oddball titles that at least helps them to stand out in a sea of samey releases. We’ll of course bring you our full review when the title launches in 2025.

PS4 as well? unbelievable, just unbelievable.
Freaky coincidence. I just installed Rebirth last night off of my bestie’s account.
Cool word up son
What did I just watch?
@RubyCarbuncle It's a Compile Heart game. Why wouldn't it release on PS4?
It's Nep Nep time!
Compile Heart games lie in a weird spot, where they’re self-aware parodies of low-effort hentai games… but also sometimes lie in the same area as those games. This looks funny but sort of embodies the ‘lol zany’ attitude of £50 Senran Kagura spin-offs that are absolutely not worth the money.
Neptunia games feel like they haven't improved graphically since they first released on the PS3.
What the actual F 🤯
"… there’s a PS2 energy"

That is the most appropriate comment for your avatar pic...lol...
@Ralizah Because the PS4 is an old Console. Its had its time in the spotlight and it's time to move on.
@RubyCarbuncle If the game can be made to run on PS4 with minimal effort, then you're just losing potential sales for no reason by not also releasing it on PS4.
This isn't Uncharted. Nobody buys a PS5 to play cheap Neptunia spinoffs. And probably a portion of the fanbase is still on older hardware.
