Heads up, MAGES. just dropped the news: their highly anticipated new game, STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT, originally set for 2025, is now officially pushed back to 2026. But don't despair! They've also unveiled a fresh batch of character designs and event CGs to keep the hype alive while we wait.
For the uninitiated, "STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT" isn't just a simple remaster. This is a full-blown, ground-up remake of the original 2009 Xbox 360 classic. We're talking completely rebuilt assets, upgraded visuals, and even brand-new story content – a total overhaul! While it was initially announced in 2024 for a 2025 release, the devs are now saying the extra year is all about polishing the game to perfection.
And what exactly did they show off? For starters, original character designer huke has personally re-drawn all the character designs, giving us a fresh look at the beloved cast. Plus, the backgrounds have been meticulously recreated based on Akihabara in 2010, packed with incredible detail.
But wait, there's more! The event CGs have also been re-evaluated, with some scenes even getting completely new storyboards. Expect to see moments that were never depicted in the original game, now brought to life in "RE:BOOT."
"STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT" is slated for a 2026 release in Japan, though supported platforms are still under wraps. Keep an eye out for more details from the official channels as we get closer!
