Recently, reports went live eyeing Steins;Gate. The franchise’s official website updated its main page with a graphic hyping the milestone. A series of blank slots were posted as well, teasing a total to ten announcements for 2019.
So far, there is no word on what these reveals will be. Fans do believe a new game or remastered visual novel could be in the works for gamers. As for anime lovers, the future is more muddy; Steins;Gate did put out a new anime did debut back in October 2015. It has not bee too-too long since the sequel was released, but fans are hoping White Fox can work out a new project with Steins;Gate‘s creators sooner rather than later.

Steins;Gate started life as a visual novel game developed by 5pb and Nitroplus for the Xbox 360 in 2009. An anime adaptation was produced by White Fox in 2011, and follows a so-called ‘mad scientist’ named Rintaro Okabe who runs a laboratory in Tokyo. The man’s life turns upside down after he stumbles across the dead body of a well-known scientist named Kurisu Makise. He texts a colleague about the incident only to discover that his message reached his friend before the murder was actually committed. It turns out that Okabe’s phone is part of a time-traveling project that worked, giving him the ability to send texts through time.
