==Plot==
The year is 20XX, and in the wake of Arfoire, who was previously defeated, a force known as ASIC (Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime), a group solely dedicated towards the deceased Arfoire, has risen, led by Magic the Hard. Over the years, the influence of ASIC has become increasingly powerful, currently affecting many residents of Gamindustri. As such, in response to the threat, the CPUs and Nepgear travel to the Gamindustri Graveyard to combat ASIC. However, when they are overpowered and captured, Compa and IF come to their rescue and free Nepgear. With the fate of Gamindustri and the CPUs in their hands, the CPU Candidates must free their sisters and destroy ASIC.
==Characters==
All existing characters will return (with the exception of Red), as well as new main characters and supporting characters. The new main characters have the task of rescuing the goddesses from the first game.
===CPU Candidates===
Nepgear (Purple Sister)
:Voiced by: Yui Horie
:The main protagonist of game, and the younger sister of Neptune. As all the new main characters are portable handheld references, in contrast to the home console references made by the original four main characters, she represents the Sega Game Gear. She's determined to save her sister Neptune at all costs. Compa calls her Ge-Ge, while IF calls her Gear.
;Uni (Black Sister)
:Voiced by: Eri Kitamura
:The younger sister of Noire (Black Heart). As her name implies, she represents the Sony PSP. Looks up to her sister, Noire, and suffers from an inferiority complex because of it. Establishes a rivalry with Nepgear, as did Noire and Neptune.
;Ram (White Sister)
:Voiced by: Kaori Ishihara
:The first little sister of Blanc (White Heart). Her name is derived from RAM (Random Access Memory). The more talkative one of the pair. Seems quite possessive of her sister.
;Rom (White Sister)
:Voiced by: Yui Ogura
:The second little sister of Blanc (White Heart). Her name is derived from ROM (Read Only Memory). She tends to be more quiet than Ram. Also looks up to Nepgear as a big sister. Because Ram and Rom are twin sisters, it can be assumed that as a pair, they represent the Nintendo DS. Also Rom is older than Ram.
===CPUs===
All existing characters will return (with the exception of Red), as well as new main characters and supporting characters. The new main characters have the task of rescuing the goddesses from the first game.
===CPU Candidates===
Neptune (Purple Heart)

:The main protagonist of the first Hyperdmension Neptunia game and the older sister of the Nepgear. She and the other CPUs were defeated by CFW Magic in the Gamindustri Graveyard and held captive for over three years. While her sister is very diligent and studious, Neptune is the complete opposite.
;Noire (Black Heart)
:Voiced by: Asami Imai
:The older sister of Uni and one of the CPUs held captive in the Gamindustri Graveyard after being defeated by CFW Magic. She tries her best to be the best role model for her younger sister and is thus very strict on her.
;Blanc (White Heart)
:Voiced by: Kana Asumi
:The CPU of Lowee and the older sister of Rom and Ram. She along with the other CPUs were defeated by CFW Magic and held captive in the Gamindustri Graveyard. She loves her sisters dearly but also tends to get angry at them due to their childishness.
