Zero Dimension Neptunia Z: Twilight of the Desperate CPU With the era of peace continuing throughout Gamindustri, Neptune, the ruling Console Patron Unit (CPU) and Nepgear, her sister and CPU Candidate of the nation of Planeptune are warned by their Oracle, Histoire, of the upcoming 'CPU Shift Period', where the public will attempt to oust their CPUs in favor of newcomers. Before they can prepare, Neptune and Nepgear stumble across an old video game console which transports them to the ruined, monster-infested Zero Dimension.

They find a survivor, Uzume Tennouboshi, who is also a CPU. The pair learn that, like Uzume, they are unable to transform to unlock their true powers in this world due to the absence of Shares (faith from the people). The trio journey to locate the Share Crystals to empower themselves enough to reclaim the land from the invading monsters.

Neptune and Nepgear learn that Uzume has unique abilities that may trigger when the party needs them most. She is also an amnesiac who remembers nothing of her people or the calamity which destroyed her world but believes it to be the work of giants known as Dark CPUs, with one of them, Dark Purple, actively wreaking havoc. Uzume's abilities grant the party Shares from friendly monsters and eventually the ability to seal Dark Purple in a pocket dimension; the Sharing Field.

Nepgear works on a device to send herself and Neptune home but the facility is attacked by Arfoire; a powerful CPU-like being with a lust for destruction. Neptune was transported home, but Nepgear jumped out to help save Uzume from Arfoire's forces. This led the two to abandon their post and retreat. Back home, Neptune finds Histoire incapacitated due to her overloading from linking dimensions to bring Neptune home. Soon, Neptune begins to restore Histoire, hoping she can bring Nepgear home.

Meanwhile, in the Zero Dimension, Nepgear and Uzume are intercepted by Arfoire. The two are saved by an alternate, older Neptune. The older Neptune reveals that she is a dimension traveler who comes from a Planeptune under the rule of Plutia (a close friend from the previous game, who rules in the Ultra Dimension) who came to the Zero Dimension with the power of Croire (a dimension-crossing antagonist, also from the previous game) after capturing her, though Croire has since escaped.

The party are unable to defeat Arfoire who has stolen power from Croire to boost her own, but recapture Croire. Arfoire frees Dark Purple from the pocket dimension and fuses with it, though the party are able to re-confine the fused deity, creating a cross-dimensional portal in the process. Neptune rejoins the party through the portal and aids the group in destroying the giant deity, though the portal's temperamental nature causes Neptune and Nepgear to return home after the battle. Uzume and her friend Umio plan to rebuild their world, though the older Neptune's fate is left uncertain.

Hyper Dimension Neptunia G: The Golden Leaders, Reconstructors of Gamindustri Several days later, the CPUs hold a meeting to discuss the CPU Shift Period which is now in full effect. Shares are disappearing rapidly, and the CPUs will host a festival to regain public faith. A festival event is interrupted by a mysterious 4-person group known as Gold Third. They swiftly defeats the CPUs, and the world is engulfed in a white light.

The CPUs awaken several days later, only to find that the public have forgotten them and each of the four members of Gold Third now rule the four nations. The CPUs each return to their respective Basilicoms (CPU Headquarters) followed by the CPU candidates to assess each nation's situation. Though they attempt to keep in contact by cell-phone, networks prove unstable. Vicious new monsters have also been reported throughout Gamindustri, as well as four mysterious golden towers.

Neptune:

Neptune reunites with her old friend IF and joins her in investigating the new crime syndicate AffimaX. IF attempts to abandon Neptune having forgotten her entirely, though her memories return when Neptune rescues her from Arfoire, who has survived and escaped from the Zero Dimension. The two friends defeat Arfoire, however she is rescued by Steamax; a cyborg ninja from AffimaX. The two return to Planeptune as a handful of citizens regain their memories, including Neptune's other friend Compa. The three head to the Basilicom where Histoire welcomes them home and reveals that B-Sha from Gold Third is an even lazier leader than Neptune, and is also afraid of monsters.

Histoire suggests Neptune and B-Sha rule Planeptune together, with B-Sha policing the city and Neptune slaying the growing number of monsters outside. Later, the party capture and interrogate Warechu; an AffimaX thief and video-game pirate. In an effort to woo Compa, Warechu reveals the names of several AffimaX members, including himself, Arfoire, Steamax and their leader, the capitalist General Affimojas. Steamax infiltrates the Basilicom, frees Warechu and steals Neptune's dimension-crossing console. The party chase after and defeat Steamax, but are forced to join forces with him to stop a brainwashed Warechu and B-Sha who are attacking Planeptune, though Steamax escapes with the console after the battle.

Noire:

Noire returns to Lastation with her sister Uni only to find she is a wanted criminal. Noire is forced to leave Uni behind and is rescued by a girl named K-Sha. The two become best friends and K-Sha reveals Lastation's Gold Third leader resigned and a corrupt mercenary group called The Order is now in charge of Lastation. Noire tries to aid Lastation by defeating the new monsters but risks capture by being in the public eye. Eventually, Noire is tracked to K-Sha's location and K-Sha is interrogated to reveal Noire's whereabouts. Noire surrenders to save her friend, though Uni soon arrives and breaks Noire out of jail. The two return to K-Sha, who becomes increasingly jealous of Noire's close relationship with her sister.

Steamax meets Uni for the first time and takes a liking to her. After a mysterious voice persuades K-Sha to remove Uni from their relationship, K-Sha challenges Uni to a fight to the death at the golden tower, with Noire being the prize. At the tower, K-Sha reveals the truth that she is Lastation's Gold Third member and is also in love with Noire. Noire takes Uni's place in the dual to spare Uni and wins, sparing K-Sha, resulting in the two agreeing to be friends. Later, the tower is attacked by The Order, hoping to cut off K-Sha's power source; the crystal on the top floor. The three defeat the order but Uni is poisoned by a chemical weapon. K-Sha saves Uni's life by creating a vaccine from her own blood, but turns hostile again afterwards and is defeated once again. Realizing her power is driving her insane, K-Sha destroys the crystal herself and the three agree to try being friends again.

Blanc:

In Lowee, Blanc is rescued from a monster by C-Sha of Gold Third. C-Sha claims she has no memory of their prior battle and tells Blanc about the harsh class system in Lowee and the restrictive laws. Blanc joins C-Sha and becomes a hunter and helps the struggling citizens whilst searching the land for her sisters, Rom and Ram. C-Sha is approached by a politician named Azna=Leb and tasked with assassinating Blanc, but she refuses. After reuniting with Rom and Ram on a rescue mission, Blanc is approached by Azna=Leb and tasked with investigating C-Sha following troubling allegations against her. Blanc questions her friend and C-Sha apologetically reveals the truth, that she is the Gold Third leader of Lowee and is the source of the monster outbreak as her powers randomly release an uncontrollable mist which summons monsters against her will.

C-Sha is arrested by Azna=Leb's agents despite Blanc's protests of her innocence. C-Sha is sentenced to execution but releases the mist, summoning an army of monsters to attack Lowee, allowing her to escape with help from her friend Financier. Rom and Ram evacuate the citizens whilst Blanc attempts to stop the monsters alone. When all hope seems lost, Financier arrives with Rom, Ram, C-Sha and the Hunters Guild. After liberating Lowee, C-Sha reclaims her position of ruler and arrests Azna=Leb who she left in charge in her absence, and then abolishes the harsh laws and class system which he set in place. Afterwards, C-Sha climbs her golden tower and destroys the crystal at the top to remove her powers and the mist, but instead becomes possessed by the mist. After Blanc, Rom and Ram defeat her, the four return to their duties in Lowee.

Vert:

Vert, the CPU of Leanbox, returns home to learn from the new leader, S-Sha of Gold Third, that Leanbox is under attack by invaders and an army of demons. Vert immediately joins the military in order to save Leanbox and is sent to the front lines where she learns that Leanbox's entire army has been turned into pigs by a curse. After defeating an outside invader; a battle robot believed to be from Lastation, Vert is dispatched to defeat another invader but instead encounters Nepgear who offers her support. Together, the two defeat another battle robot which that was made from Lastation parts, but built within Leanbox.
