What had happened to her? And why can’t Rintarou save her? The video’s text goes on to say that his friends are worried about him and announces that the game will have new characters. The video then reveals that the game will be released this 19 November 2015 for the PlayStation 3, 4, and Vita platforms.

As mentioned in our previous article, this new Steins; Gate game was announced during the New Works Unveiling in TwitCast live streaming event by MAGES last March. It is a direct sequel to the bestselling Steins; Gate visual novel. Like the original, it will also be receiving an anime adaptation, as one has already been green-lit for 0. The game will be following the Beta Timeline where Rintarou fails to save Kurisu.
