LOS ANGELES, CA., January 20, 2021 – The Devilish and Angelic V-Idols, Vice and Licht, are ready to jump on the mic! We are excited to announce that the official website for the music-based hack ‘n’ slash game, Neptunia™ Virtual Stars, has been updated with the character profiles for the characters below!
Neptunia Virtual Stars launches for PlayStation®4 physically and digitally in North America on March 2 and in Europe on March 5. The Steam® version will launch on March 29.
Both PS4 and Steam versions will only include Japanese voiceover options as well as English subtitles. The Steam version also includes Japanese and Traditional Chinese subtitles.
V-Idols
V-Idols are virtual idols from distant dimensions who were summoned by Faira to save Planet Emote from the Antis.
Vtubers
Vtubers are real-life internet stars who have been kidnapped by the Antis to destroy Planet Emote’s content. The Gamindustri Goddesses and V-Idols must collect V-Cubes from defeated V-Hunters to save the Vtubers.
Character Profiles:
Vice
Vice is part of a virtual unit formed with her partner, Licht. Their contrasting personalities, that of a devil and angel respectively, are part of their charm. Though at times she can be a bit of a tyrant, she has a heart of gold. Whenever Vice is at a disadvantage, she loses confidence and looks like she’s about to cry. She plans to take over the world by becoming an idol.
She fights with her scythe, which can be tricky in close quarters. Swing the scythe to hack down enemies, or throw it like a boomerang at nearby foes. A woman of many talents!
Licht
Licht is part of a virtual unit formed with her partner, Vice. Their contrasting personalities, that of a devil and angel respectively, are part of their charm. She is known for her peaceful aura. Her embrace is as sweet as an angel’s, and she positions herself as the older sister of the duo. Unbeknownst to most, she’s something of a sadist, and enjoys toying with Vice’s impressionable brain from time to time.
She is a mage, with a staff that casts spells from a distance. Use special spells on top of long-distance attacks. Move around the battlefield to deal damage from far away with spellbinding precision. Her range certainly comes in handy!
