STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT Trailer Reveals New ‘Brutal’ Gamma Worldline Route

Spike Chunsoft and MAGES. have released a new trailer for STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT, the remake of the original STEINS;GATE visual novel, showcasing the new “Gamma Worldline” route. The Gamma Worldline route is completely original to STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT, and it’s described as “brutal,” as players see Rintaro Okabe descend into a deeper despair.

After enduring countless brutal ordeals, protagonist Rintaro Okabe finds himself cast into a new worldline. In this world, the time machine was never completed, and D-Mails, messages capable of altering the past, do not exist. Vastly diverging from the worldline he knows, Okabe struggles to comprehend the situation. Seeking help, he rushes to the lab, only to be met with hostile stares from the very lab members who should be his friends.

In this additional route, the story depicts a Gamma Worldline, where the persona of Hououin Kyouma, the driving force behind the main story, never existed. Instead, Okabe dirties his hands alongside Moeka Kiryu and is confronted with loneliness and despair.

A new kind of brutality, unlike anything seen before, awaits both Rintaro Okabe and the player.

We invite you to see this story through to its end.
