Spike Chunsoft announced that pre-orders for the Steins;Gate RE:BOOT visual novel are now live! The game is scheduled to release in North America and Europe on October 29, 2026.
There will be several versions of the game, including a standard physical version, a Steelbook physical version, and a digital version. The standard and Steelbook physical versions will be available for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5.
A digital version will be available for PC via Steam and Xbox Series X|S starting from August 20, 2026.
New features in the RE:BOOT edition include the following:
Scenarios with Improved Readability
Based on the scenario from STEINS;GATE ELITE, the story has been refined to be more evenly paced, with an overall smoother reading experience. Along with new dialogue and narrative text, a brand-new worldline and ending scenario have been added, bringing players a story never before seen. The game features a substantially expanded volume of text, delivering a richer story experience.
Newly Recorded Voices and Sound
All in-game voice lines have been newly recorded in Japanese, while the entire soundtrack has been remade by Composer Tsuyoshi Abo.
Revamped Graphics
All character art, backgrounds, and event still images have been completely redrawn from scratch, resulting in a major visual revamp. Compared to the original Xbox 360 version, the number of event still images has approximately doubled, while the number of background visuals has increased by roughly 20%. The expanded volume of artwork delivers an even more immersive experience.
Dynamic Character Expressions with E-mote
By utilizing the next-generation animation tool “E-mote”, characters are brought to life with vivid realism. From subtle changes in facial expressions to natural breathing, these nuances take immersion in the story to new heights. Watch the video below for an E-mote demonstration.
