Get ready, fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999! You're in for a double treat with the upcoming livestream on April 18th, where you'll get a sneak peek at the 1.5th anniversary celebrations and dive into the exciting content of version 2.5, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown.' This livestream will be your first comprehensive look at what's coming in the next update.

The stream will be hosted by none other than Captain Regulus alongside the new character, Officer Liang Yue, both appearing in charming chibi form. Not only will you get to enjoy the content reveal, but the livestream also promises giveaways of codes and a thrilling competition to win a Nintendo Switch 2 for viewers.

While version 2.5 has been extensively previewed for Chinese players, the 'Showdown in Chinatown' update is set to pay homage to Hong Kong martial arts movies, blending dramatic crime thriller narratives with the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante. This cinematic flair promises to be a thrilling addition to the game.

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 make an appearance. While we await the livestream to confirm which elements will be included in the international versions of Reverse: 1999, fans of Shaw Brothers and John Woo can anticipate plenty of nods to these iconic filmmakers in version 2.5.
