Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory (神次元ゲイムネプテューヌV Kami Jigen Game Neptune V, also known as Ultra Dimension Neptune V) is a 2012 action role-playing game developed and published by Compile Heart along with the assistance of Idea Factory. It is the third installment in the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise. Set in the year 1989, the story takes place after Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 in an alternate dimension to Gamindustri,[5] bringing more insight to the "Console War" story arc. The game was released on August 30, 2012 in Japan and in North America and Europe in March 2013. Like the first game, this game received a rating of "Teen" by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.[6]

An enhanced remake for the PlayStation Vita, titled Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 3: V Century was released in Japan on December 18, 2014.[7][8] It is scheduled for a North American and European release on Summer 2015, under the subtitle of V Generation.

Setting

The game takes place in an alternate world in the year 1989. The regions of Lowee, Leanbox, Lastation, and Planeptune exist in this world as well. However, the countries' cultures differ from those in Gamindustri. For example, Lowee's towns and cities are said to be modeled after a Japanese style of architecture.

Story

The player resumes the role of Neptune, as she is caught in a space/time rift, and is sent to another world, known as the V Dimension, in the year 1989. The Country of Lowee prepares for war with rumors that the country of Leanbox is planning to invade their borders by sea.[5]
