Idea Factory International has officially announced Superdimension Neptune VS SEGA Hard Girls for a release on Steam in Summer 2017. When the PlayStation Vita version of the game was originally released, an ESRB rating already mentioned a PC version, so this doesn’t come as too big a surprise. You can view early screenshots of the beta version below, along with the official press release. You can also find my review of the PlayStation Vita version here. Back then I noted the game struggled to maintain its 30fps framerate, a problem that I imagine the PC version should be able to fix. You can also sign up to test the beta of the PC version here!
