Fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 have a lot to look forward to with an upcoming livestream scheduled for April 18th. This event promises to unveil exciting new content for the game's 1.5th anniversary celebration, alongside a sneak peek at the highly anticipated version 2.5 update, titled 'Showdown in Chinatown'.
The livestream will be hosted by the charismatic Captain Regulus and the newly introduced character, Officer Liang Yue, who will appear in chibi form. Viewers can expect more than just a preview; the stream will also feature giveaways of redeemable codes and an exciting competition where participants have a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2.
For those familiar with the Chinese version of the game, 'Showdown in Chinatown' is set to pay homage to the iconic Hong Kong martial arts films. The narrative will revolve around a gripping crime thriller, focusing on the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante. This update will immerse players in a world reminiscent of the works of Shaw Brothers and John Woo, complete with dramatic flair and intense action sequences.
On the character front, Officer Liang Yue will showcase her martial arts prowess as she infiltrates a movie set run by 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, a character named Loggerhead, with a camera for a head, will also make an appearance, adding to the eclectic roster of characters.
While specifics for the international version of Reverse: 1999 will be revealed during the livestream, fans can anticipate plenty of nods to classic martial arts cinema in version 2.5.
