Get ready, fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999, as a thrilling livestream is scheduled for April 18th. This event promises to unveil exciting new content for the game's upcoming 1.5th anniversary, alongside a sneak peek at version 2.5, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown'. This will be your first chance to see what's on the horizon for this highly anticipated update.
The livestream will be uniquely hosted by Captain Regulus and the soon-to-be-introduced Officer Liang Yue, both appearing in charming chibi form. Viewers are in for a treat with giveaways of codes and a chance to win a coveted Nintendo Switch 2 through a competition.
For those familiar with the Chinese version of the game, version 2.5 has already been explored in detail. 'Showdown in Chinatown' pays homage to Hong Kong martial arts cinema, featuring a gripping crime thriller narrative centered around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.

Character-wise, Officer Liang Yue will bring her martial arts prowess to the game, infiltrating the movie set run by Noire, a wheelchair-bound director with a perfectionist streak. Noire's unique ability involves controlling her ideal actors to combat foes. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, is set to join the fray, adding an intriguing twist to the narrative.
While the specifics for the international release will be clarified during the livestream, fans of Shaw Brothers and John Woo can anticipate a rich tapestry of references and homages in version 2.5.
