In the game's story, after the "first meteorite" heralded the end of the world, Neptune finds herself alone in a white space. She activates "Retry" to start over again, and meets new companions and enemies. She and her allies overcome many challenges to fight against the "true end."
Compile Heart teased the game in a video in early March as the latest mainline entry in the franchise .
Idea Factory International shipped the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 , Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation , and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation games physically and digitally in North America and Europe for PlayStation 4 on October 28 after delaying the release from September 30 due to "a manufacturing setback."
Compile Heart released the PS4 version in Japan for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1+ in May 2018, and for the other two games in August 2024.
IFI had canceled the releases for Nintendo Switch in North America and Europe because the games' contents did "not comply with the Nintendo Guidelines."

The games launched in Japan that May as planned.
