posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The 583rd volume of Kadokawa's Dengeki PlayStation magazine is revealing four new goddess characters on Thursday for the Shin Jigen Game Neptune VII (New Dimension Game: Neptunia Victory II) PlayStation 4 game. The four characters call themselves "Gold Third," and they each can change into a "Gold Form."
The new characters are as follows (note: "sha" in Japanese means company):
S-sha (voiced by Maaya Uchida)

The magazine describes her as follows:
"A cool beauty who is apathetic to everything and always says 'I have no interest in this.' In her past she failed miserably at making a movie and almost died."
B-sha (voiced by Ayana Taketatsu)

"A girl who likes toys and heroes, but above all she loves money. At every opportunity she bills others and demands a small amount of money."
K-sha (voiced by Rina Hidaka)

"A young woman who goes to the all-girls school 'Lastation.' Musical appreciation and music performances are her hobby, and her personality switches to one of a veteran soldier who uses small weapons."
C-sha (voiced by Haruka Tomatsu)

"Her personality is like that of the leader of Gold Third. Despite her appearance she is a glutton, and it seems that when she is hungry she cannot use her powers."
Compile Heart previously teased the new characters in a promotional video last July.
Naoko Mizuno, director Shingo Onodera, and character designer Tsunako will return to the development team for the newest installment in the Neptunia franchise. The game will feature three dimensions and three different stories: "Rei-jigen Neptune Z" (Zero-Dimension Neptune Z) where Neptune and Nepgear lose their way in Zero Dimension and fight alongside the new character Uzume Ten'ōsei; "Chō-jigen Neptune G" (Hyperdimension Neptune G) where Neptune and her friends live in the Gamindustri world; and "Shin-jigen Neptune H" (Heart Dimension Neptune H), a mysterious dimension.
The role-playing game will ship in Japan on April 23. The regular edition will retail for 7,538 yen (about US$64), and the Dream Edition will retail for 10,778 yen (US$91). A downloadable version will retail for 6,480 yen (US$55). nao will perform the theme song "Sōtaisei Vision" (Relativity Vision). Chiyomaru Shikura (Steins;Gate, Robotics;Notes) wrote the lyrics and composed the song with arrangement by MACARONI☆.
