Fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 have much to look forward to with the upcoming livestream on April 18th. This event will not only reveal details about the 1.5th anniversary but also give a first glimpse into the much-anticipated version 2.5 update, dubbed 'Showdown in Chinatown'.

The livestream promises to be an engaging experience, hosted in-character by Captain Regulus and the new character, Officer Liang Yue, both appearing in charming chibi form. Viewers can anticipate exciting giveaways, including codes, and the chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2 through a competition.

While much of version 2.5 has already been showcased to Chinese players, the international community is eager to see how these elements will be integrated. 'Showdown in Chinatown' pays homage to Hong Kong martial arts films, featuring a thrilling crime narrative centered around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.

Character Insights Officer Liang Yue, skilled in martial arts, is set to infiltrate the movie set of another new character, Noire. Noire, a wheelchair-bound director with a perfectionist streak, uses her unique ability to control actors like puppets in battle. Additionally, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, will also make an appearance.

The specifics of what will be included in the international release of version 2.5 will be unveiled during the livestream. Fans of iconic filmmakers like the Shaw Brothers and John Woo are in for a treat with the cinematic nods planned for this update.
