Neptunia fans rejoice! Today via press release Idea Factory International announced that Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2 will be coming West. The game will be releasing early 2015, and will be available both physically and digitally in the US and Europe.

Here are some of the key features straight from the press the release:

 More is better! A player can have up to 4 characters on the battlefield, and 4 more characters as supporters that can jump into the battle if their partner on the field is weakened.

New playable characters! There are several Oracles who were only there to support players in their progression through the story. The Oracles are now playable characters in Neptunia Re;Birth2!

Stella’s Dungeon! A real-time minigame that lets you send Stella out into Gamindustri’s dungeons for exploration. She might return with useful items for the main story!

Active Animation System! Ever-lively characters move and speak fluidly throughout event scenes, thanks to the Active Animation System!

Remake System! Collect “Plans” from all over Gamindustri, and fulfill the requirements to customize your gameplay experiences as you like! Plans could weaken or strengthen enemies, add new dungeons, change the items you can gather in certain dungeons, etc.

Receive Blank Discs to craft your own Game Discs! You can create unique equippable items by burning Idea Chips (abilities) onto Blank Discs! Depending on the Idea Chips used, a Godly Game may result, which will grant you an additional ability!
