Steins;Gate, the long-running visual novel series from MAGES, is getting a reboot in 2025. While no platforms have been announced, this franchise was extremely popular on PSP, PS3, PS Vita, and PS4, so we’d be shocked if it skipped PlayStation systems entirely. It’s true, however, that the primary audience for visual novels has largely shifted to Nintendo Switch these days.

Nevertheless, the game will be a complete reboot of the 2009 original, with new graphics and story elements. The artwork that’s been released as part of this announcement trailer looks lovely.
There’s no other information at this stage, but some fans are curious what this is actually going to add to the experience. Steins;Gate was technically already re-released once as Steins;Gate Elite, which included animated cutscenes from the anime adaptation on top of the original game. That version launched in 2019 on the PS4, so this project does feel a little superfluous at first glance.
