MAGES has announced a new Science Adventure series project teased as Steins;○○○○ and it will be connected to the Steins;Gate subseries. The new project announcement comes from the company strategy presentationlive stream that took place today.
Company president Chiyomaru Shikura described the relation between the new title and Steins;Gate as something similar to what we have between Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child. He also said that you could think of it as a sequel, but it isn’t a fan disc. It will also be a completely new series, but you can expect to see Steins;Gate characters make appearances.
According to Shikura, Steins;Gate is complete with the original Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0, as any more would be redundant. Now, we’ve seen the likes of Amadeus Kurisu appear in Anonymous;Code, so there are connections all over the place.
During the live stream, Shikura explained that in the past, they released a title called Chaos;Head, which was followed by a completely new title called Chaos;Child. While its scenario was evaluated higher than Steins;Gate’s, sales were only a tenth of it in comparison. The thought of that has always stayed in Shikura’s mind, and that’s where we’ll get Steins;○○○○.
There’s already the plot and the developers already made its presentation. The game title is Steins;___. In addition to the series’ main characters, there will be something like the world lines from Steins;Gate in the new Science Adventure project. It will be completely new so you don’t have to be familiar with Steins;Gate to enjoy, but fans of the series will definitely find a lot to enjoy as well.
