Fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 are in for a treat with an upcoming livestream scheduled for April 18th. This event promises not only to unveil details about the 1.5th anniversary celebration but also to give a first look at the content of version 2.5, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown'.
The livestream will be hosted by Captain Regulus alongside the new character, Officer Liang Yue, in their charming chibi forms. Viewers can look forward to engaging giveaways, including codes, and an exciting competition where participants have the chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2.
While much of the content for version 2.5 has already been previewed for Chinese audiences, international players will get their first glimpse during this stream. 'Showdown in Chinatown' draws inspiration from classic Hong Kong martial arts films, weaving a dramatic crime thriller narrative centered around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.
Character Insights Officer Liang Yue, skilled in various martial arts, will be infiltrating the film set of another new character, Noire. Noire, a wheelchair-bound director known for her perfectionism, uses her unique ability to manipulate actors like puppets to combat foes. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, will also make an appearance.
Although the exact content for international versions will be clarified during the livestream, fans can anticipate nods to iconic filmmakers like the Shaw Brothers and John Woo in version 2.5.
