Fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 have a lot to look forward to with an exciting livestream scheduled for April 18th. This livestream promises a first detailed look at the upcoming version 2.5 update, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown,' as well as additional content celebrating the game's 1.5th anniversary.
The livestream will be hosted by the charismatic Captain Regulus alongside a new character, Officer Liang Yue, both appearing in adorable chibi form. Viewers can anticipate giveaways of codes and an exciting competition where participants have the chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2.
While the Chinese version of Reverse: 1999 has already showcased version 2.5, the international community is eager to see what elements will be included in their version. 'Showdown in Chinatown' is set to pay homage to Hong Kong martial arts movies, weaving a dramatic crime thriller narrative centered around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.
Character-wise, Officer Liang Yue will showcase her martial arts prowess as she infiltrates the movie set of Noire, a wheelchair-bound director with a perfectionist streak. Noire's unique ability involves puppeteering her ideal actors to combat enemies. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, is set to make an appearance, adding a quirky twist to the update.
While we await the livestream to learn exactly what content will be available internationally, fans of Shaw Brothers and John Woo can expect plenty of nods to their favorite films in version 2.5.
