Fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 have exciting news on the horizon. Mark your calendars for April 18th, when a new livestream will unveil the upcoming content for version 2.5, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown'. This stream promises not only a sneak peek at the new update but also additional details on the game's 1.5th anniversary celebrations.

The livestream will be hosted in-character by Captain Regulus and the new character, Officer Liang Yue, both appearing in chibi form. Viewers can look forward to engaging giveaways, including codes, and a thrilling competition to win a Nintendo Switch 2.

For those familiar with the Chinese version of the game, 'Showdown in Chinatown' is already known to pay homage to Hong Kong martial arts movies, featuring a dramatic crime thriller narrative centered around capturing an arcanist vigilante.

Character Insights: Officer Liang Yue, equipped with a variety of martial arts moves, will be infiltrating the movie set of another new character, Noire. Noire, a wheelchair-bound perfectionist director, uses her unique ability to puppeteer her ideal actors against enemies. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, is set to make an appearance.

While we await the livestream to confirm which elements will be included in the international versions of Reverse: 1999, fans can anticipate numerous nods to the iconic works of the Shaw Brothers and John Woo in version 2.5.
