Visual Comparison

According to the official website, the background art draws on documentary materials from that era, depicting 2010 Akihabara in meticulous detail for a high degree of fidelity.

In addition, to enrich the story, new locations not present in the original have been added. ▼Original

The art style and CG quality of the original were already top-tier.

Although huke returns as character designer for the remake, the distinctive flavor of the original's art style has been somewhat diluted as the visuals become more refined and modern.

Still, as a remaster of a classic, the full visual overhaul and the addition of new story content alone are enough to delight fans~

More information has yet to be revealed, but friends in mainland China—especially those in Shanghai—are in luck~

The official STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT team will attend the WePlay expo in Shanghai, with the latest news to be announced during the expo on November 22–23.

From the official presence on Xiaoheihe to attending WePlay, it's clear that MAGES. is placing great importance on the Chinese market. Interested friends may want to check it out.
