Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart Headed to North America, Europe

Idea Factory International announced on Friday that it will release the PlayStation Vita game Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart (Chō Megami Shinkō Noir Gekishin Black Heart) in North America and Europe in early 2015. The company plans to release both physical and digital editions of the game.

Idea Factory describes the game:

Unlike previous Hyperdimension Neptunia games, Hyperdevotion Noire is not set within the world of Gamindustri, but instead within a similar, but separate, world known as "Gamarket".

The CPUs of each of the four nations are locked in heated battle against one another for dominion over this world. Just as Noire is one step away from complete domination, the CPUs are suddenly robbed of their powers by an unknown force. Now in order to save the world from destruction, the four CPUs must unite Gamarket and defeat the onslaught!

The game shipped in Japan in May. Sting, a developer known for strategy RPGs, worked on the title, making it the first SRPG in the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise. The staff included Compile Heart series producer Naoko Mizuno, Compile Heart producer Shirō Higa, and Sting development producer Hikaru Yasui.
