As a fan of some of these Vtubers I’m pretty excited to see how this one turns out! Neptunia Virtual Stars will release on PlayStation 4 in North America on March 2nd. Our friends in Europe will have to wait a few more days until March 5th. The Steam version will release on March 29th. All versions of this game will include Japanese audio with subtitles.
Folks in the US looking to snag up a Limited Edition can do so next week on February 2nd at 11AM PST on Iffy’s Online Store.
