Earlier in the year Spike Chunsoft previously announced that STEINS;GATE would be released in 2018; but recently the publisher have confirmed that they will be releasing STEINS;GATE ELITE, which is an animated remake of the original STEINS;GATE visual novel, onto the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch next year within Europe and North America.
In addition to the western annoucnement Spike Chunsoft also confirmed that both platforms will also receive 10 additional scenarios, which further explores the STEINS;GATE universe, while the Nintendo Switch version will also receive access to 8-BIT ADV STEINS;GATE. This additional content has been produced by series creator Chiyomaru Shikura and is a chiptune variation of the main story (whatever that means; but sounds fun).

Since then, the series has spawned a manga, drama CDs, a movie, a live action stage play, and an anime, including the now-airingSTEINS;GATE 0, and is loved by fans worldwide.
