Fans of the innovative time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 have a lot to look forward to. Mark your calendars for April 18th, as an exciting livestream is set to unveil new content for both the upcoming 1.5th anniversary and version 2.5, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown'. This stream will offer the first detailed look at what players can expect in the upcoming update.
The livestream will be hosted in-character by Captain Regulus and the newly 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 Nintendo Switch 2 through a special competition.
For those already familiar with the content showcased to Chinese players, 'Showdown in Chinatown' is poised to pay homage to classic Hong Kong martial arts films, weaving a gripping crime thriller narrative around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.
Character-wise, Officer Liang Yue, equipped with an arsenal of martial arts moves, will be infiltrating the film set of another new character, Noire. Noire, a wheelchair-bound director with a perfectionist streak, uses her unique ability to puppeteer her ideal actors to combat foes. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, is slated to make an appearance.
While the exact content for international versions of Reverse: 1999 remains to be seen, the livestream promises plenty of nods to fans of the Shaw Brothers and John Woo in version 2.5.
