Fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 have exciting news on the horizon. Mark your calendars for April 18th, as a new livestream will offer a first look at the upcoming content for version 2.5, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown'. This stream promises not only a sneak peek into the new update but also additional details on the game's 1.5th anniversary celebration.
The livestream will be hosted in-character by Captain Regulus and the upcoming character, Officer Liang Yue, both appearing in chibi form. Viewers can look forward to exciting giveaways, including redeemable codes and a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2 through a competition.
While version 2.5 has been previously showcased to Chinese players, the international community will finally get to see what's in store. 'Showdown in Chinatown' is inspired by Hong Kong martial arts movies, featuring a dramatic crime thriller narrative centered around capturing an arcanist vigilante.
Character-wise, Officer Liang Yue will showcase her martial arts prowess as she infiltrates the movie set of another new character, Noire. Noire, a wheelchair-bound perfectionist director, uses her unique ability to puppeteer ideal actors to combat enemies. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, will also make an appearance.
While we await the livestream to confirm the specifics for international versions of Reverse: 1999, fans can anticipate plenty of nods to the iconic Shaw Brothers and John Woo in version 2.5.
