STEINS;GATE 0 Getting a Western Release.

Thanks to publisher PQube, STEINS;GATE 0, the visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus, will be coming to the west on both the PS4 and the PS Vita. The game is set to be released in 2016 for North American and European players.

The title is a sequel to STEINS;GATE, the critically acclaimed visual novel, also developed by the same two studios. The original was one of the best selling visual novels in the western world, so it may come as no surprise to see the follow up also coming to these shores.

Depicting an alternative world unseen in the original title, STEINS;GATE 0 sees Okabe and the Future Gadget Lab members return once again. This time, the story centres around Artificial Intelligence and the creation of ‘Amadeus’ – a means of interacting with the stored memories of a fellow human being. Details on whether or not Amadeus will 'rock you' were not clear at the time of going to press, but we hope he will.
