Latest Announcement: Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos DLC Changes
Idea Factory International has recently made a significant update concerning the Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos game for the Nintendo Switch. Notably, the much-anticipated Swimsuit Costume Set downloadable content (DLC) will not be available for the Switch version in North America and Europe. In contrast, players on the PS4 and PS5 platforms will have access to this DLC, leading to an adjustment in pricing for those versions.
New Release Date and Pricing Updates
The release date for Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5 has officially been moved up to January 2, 2025. This development comes on the heels of other recent announcements where similar DLC cancellations were reported for the Neptunia Re:Birth series in North America and Europe.
Reasons Behind the DLC Exclusion
The company pointed to Nintendo Guidelines as the primary reason for this omission. Players interested in acquiring the Swimsuit Costume Set on the eShop will need to obtain a patch. Furthermore, those purchasing the Deluxe Edition or Magazine Edition will find the prices adjusted downward. Instead of $49.99 and $69.99, the revised prices will now stand at $46.99 and $66.99 respectively. Despite the absence of the Swimsuit DLC for the Switch, the Apocalyptic and Race Queen Costume Set add-ons will still be released as originally planned.
Pricing for PS4 and PS5 Remains Unchanged
For players on PS4 and PS5, the special edition pricing for Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos will remain unaffected. The Deluxe Edition, which includes the three DLC packs (including the Swimsuit Costume Set), will still be offered at $49.99. Meanwhile, the Magazine Edition, featuring additional content such as a sticker set, soundtrack, art book, poster set, and the game itself, will stay at $69.99.
Availability
While North American and European fans of the series await the upcoming release, it’s worth noting that Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos is already available in Japan. With the January 2025 launch nearing, enthusiasts can look forward to diving into this uniquely engaging gaming experience across all platforms.
