Fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 are in for a treat with an exciting livestream scheduled for April 18th. This event will not only provide a sneak peek at the upcoming version 2.5 update, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown,' but also offer additional details on the game's 1.5th anniversary celebrations.
The livestream promises an engaging experience, hosted in-character by Captain Regulus and the new character, Officer Liang Yue, both appearing in chibi form. Viewers can look forward to exciting giveaways, including codes, and a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2 through a competition.
While the Chinese player base has already had extensive previews of version 2.5, the international audience will finally get a comprehensive look at what's coming. 'Showdown in Chinatown' is set to pay homage to Hong Kong martial arts films, weaving a dramatic crime thriller narrative around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.
Character-wise, Officer Liang Yue, with her array 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 to combat enemies. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, is also set to appear.
While we await the livestream to confirm the specifics for 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.
