{{nihongo|'''''Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart'''''|超女神信仰 ノワール 激神ブラックハート|Chou Megami Shinkou Nowāru: Gekishin Burakku Hāto|lit. Hyper Goddess Faith Noire: Extreme God Black Heart}} is a spin-off title featuring Noire as the leading character.

Unlike previous ''Hyperdimension Neptunia'' games, ''Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart'' is not set within the world of [[Gamindustri]], but instead within a similar, but separate, world known as “[[Gamarket]]”.

The CPUs of each of the four nations are locked in heated battle against one another for dominion over this world. Just as Noire is one step away from complete domination, the CPUs are suddenly robbed of their powers by an unknown force. Now in order to save the world from destruction, the four CPUs must unite Gamarket and defeat the onslaught!

==Story==
<poem>
Gamarket...
Similar, but separate from the world known
as Gamindustri...
Neptune, also known as Purple Heart, guards the nation of Planeptune.
Blanc, also known as White Heart, guards the nation of Lowee.
Vert, also known as Green Heart, guards the nation of Leanbox.
Noire, also known as Black Heart, guards the nation of Lastation.
In order to unite the nations of this world, the four CPUs (Console Patron Units)
compete with one another and fight for supremacy.

Right before Noire attains her ambition for a united Gamarket
under Lastation’s rule, someone cuts off the source of the four
CPUs’ powers – their Shares.

To save their world, which has been thrust into a state of chaos,
the CPUs decide to join forces in order to bring Gamarket together under one single,
unified banner.
But what role will Noire play in this
brand-new adventure...?
</poem>

==Setting==
Unlike previous titles of the ''Hyperdimension Neptunia'' series, ''Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart'' takes place in a different world known as "Gamarket."  In this world the nations of Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee, and Leanbox still exist with their respective goddesses, but with a different geographic structure than the [[Hyper Dimension]] and [[Ultra Dimension]], featuring one large continent surrounded by four smaller islands and other bits of land.

Since the CPU Candidates do not exist in this world and the CPUs wear the garb of their Ultra Dimension counterparts (yet [[Plutia]] does not exist in this world and Neptune rules Planeptune), the world setting of Gamarket has no apparent connection to any of the other dimensions featured throughout the series.
