Mages’ Science Adventure series is one of the most well-regarded visual novel sagas out there – we just sung the praises of the recently localized Robotics;Notes – but the game that started it all is Steins;Gate, and in a recent live-stream the developer announced some exciting plans for the series.

To start with, there’s an all-new game on the way, simply teased as Steins; with a blurred second word. As reported by Gematsu, Mages president Chiyomaru Shikura describes the new game as being connected to the original in the same way Chaos;Child was connected to Chaos:Head. For context, the former referenced major events from the latter while telling its own story with its own new characters, for the most part.

We also have a new trailer for the first Steins;Gate sequel’s updated remaster, Steins;Gate 0 Elite. Like Steins;Gate Elite, it will incorporate scenes lifted directly from the anime, making for a more dynamic presentation. New scenes have also been animated that weren’t in the anime adaptation. Check out the game’s debut trailer below at around the 1 hour 24 minute mark:
 

 
Platforms and release dates have yet to be announced, but Mages has been bringing all of its newer Science Adventure projects to Switch, so they’ll likely follow suit.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
