Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy and Death end re;Quest: Code Z for Switch canceled for the west [Update]

The Switch versions of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation, and Death end re;Quest: Code Z will no longer be released in the west due to the contents “not complying with the Nintendo Guidelines,” publisher Idea Factory International announced.

In Japan, the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth for Switch launched both physically and digitally on May 23. A western release was originally planned for May 21, but delayed indefinitely.

Death end re;Quest Code Z launched for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Switch on September 19 in Japan. Idea Factory International clarified that the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions will still launch in the west in 2025 as planned.

Update 1:45 p.m.: In response to a request for additional information, an Idea Factory International representative told Gematsu, “Although the Neptunia series and the Death End re;Quest series have prior entries on western Switch eShops, we were informed that the contents of the Re;Birth trilogy and Death end re;Quest: Code Z did not comply with Nintendo Guidelines. As a result, we are unable to release these titles physically or digitally for Nintendo Switch.”
