Author : Allison May 02,2025

Fans of the time-twisting RPG Reverse: 1999 have exciting news on the horizon: a livestream scheduled for April 18th will unveil the much-anticipated content for the game's 1.5th anniversary, alongside a sneak peek at version 2.5 titled 'Showdown in Chinatown'. This event promises to be a comprehensive showcase of the upcoming update, giving players their first official look at what's to come.

The livestream will be hosted in-character by Captain Regulus, accompanied by the debut of Officer Liang Yue in chibi form. Viewers can look forward to engaging content, including giveaways of codes and a thrilling competition where participants have the chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2.

While version 2.5 has been extensively previewed for Chinese players, international fans will get to see how 'Showdown in Chinatown' pays homage to iconic Hong Kong martial arts films, delivering a gripping crime thriller narrative centered around the pursuit of an arcanist vigilante.

ytCharacter dynamics are set to enrich the storyline further. Officer Liang Yue, equipped with an arsenal of martial arts moves, will infiltrate the movie set of another intriguing character, Noire. As a wheelchair-bound director with perfectionist tendencies, Noire uses her unique ability to manipulate actors to combat foes. Adding to the mix, Loggerhead, a character with a camera for a head, will also join the fray.

While the livestream will clarify the extent to which these elements will feature in the international release of Reverse: 1999, fans can anticipate numerous nods to classic films by the Shaw Brothers and John Woo in version 2.5.
