Exciting news for fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999! Mark your calendars for April 18th, as a special livestream is set to unveil thrilling new content for both the upcoming 1.5th anniversary and the much-anticipated version 2.5, 'Showdown in Chinatown'.

The event will be hosted in-character by the charismatic Captain Regulus alongside the new character, Officer Liang Yue, appearing in adorable chibi form. Viewers can look forward to engaging giveaways, including redeemable codes, and an exciting competition where you could win a Nintendo Switch 2!
While Chinese players have already had a sneak peek at version 2.5, international fans are eager to see how it translates. 'Showdown in Chinatown' is poised to pay homage to the iconic Hong Kong martial arts films, delivering a gripping crime thriller narrative centered around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.
Character Spotlight: Officer Liang Yue, with her arsenal of martial arts moves, will infiltrate the movie set led by the new character, Noire. Noire, a wheelchair-bound director with a perfectionist streak, uses her unique ability to manipulate her ideal actors against foes. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, will also make an appearance, adding to the intrigue.
Though we'll need to wait for the livestream to confirm the extent of these elements in the international release, fans of the Shaw Brothers and John Woo can expect delightful nods to their favorite cinematic styles in version 2.5.
