Fans of the engaging time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 have much to look forward to with the upcoming livestream scheduled for April 18th. This exciting event promises a double treat: a sneak peek at the new content for the 1.5th anniversary and an exclusive preview of version 2.5, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown'. This will be the first official reveal of what's in store for the next update, building anticipation among the global player base.
The livestream will be uniquely hosted by Captain Regulus alongside the upcoming character Officer Liang Yue, both appearing in their charming chibi forms. Viewers can also look forward to exciting giveaways, including redeemable codes, and a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2 through a competition, adding to the festive atmosphere of the event.
While version 2.5 has already been unveiled to Chinese players, the global audience is eager to see how 'Showdown in Chinatown' will pay homage to the iconic Hong Kong martial arts films. The narrative is set to unfold as a gripping crime thriller centered around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.
In terms of character development, 'Showdown in Chinatown' introduces Officer Liang Yue, a martial arts expert infiltrating the film set run by the new character Noire. Noire, a wheelchair-bound director with a perfectionist streak, uses her unique ability to manipulate actors as puppets against foes. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, is slated to make an intriguing appearance.
While specifics for the international versions of Reverse: 1999 will be clarified during the livestream, fans can expect numerous nods to the legendary Shaw Brothers and John Woo in version 2.5, enriching the game's cultural tapestry.
