Steins;Gate’s sequel is in “concepts” phase, confirms producer

SciADV series producer Tatsuya Matsubara, via an interview with CBR, has shared a brief update on the status of the upcoming thematic sequel to Steins;Gate, colloquially termed “Steins;???”

Read the full quote below:

Interviewer: What does the future look like for Steins;Gate moving forward? Are there any plans that you can share with our readers about the franchise’s future expansions?

Matsubara: In the immediate future, the game is coming to Crunchyroll Vault, which is very exciting for a new audience to be able to experience it. In addition, Steins;Gate is celebrating its 15th anniversary in Japan. So, we have some live events and live programming planned around that. Beyond those, I think it's already been announced, but there is a sequel to which we are putting the concepts together right now, and my task is then to take this concept and translate it into a scenario for the game.

Announced in late 2020, Steins;??? is an upcoming thematic sequel to Steins;Gate. Updates on this title have been sparse, but recently, MAGES. has also announced a remake of the original Steins;Gate visual novel titled “Steins;Gate Re:Boot,” expected to release in 2025.
