Steins;Gate Elite, the expanded version of what is commonly regarded as the greatest visual novel ever made, has been confirmed for a western release. Spike Chunsoft announced at GDC today that they will be bringing the game to North America and Europe this year for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC. It looks like the Vita version of the game will forever stay in Japan.
Steins;Gate Elite takes the original visual novel, but expands upon it by including scenes from the (equally acclaimed) anime based on it, as well as some new and original scenes developed specifically for the game—in other words, it is a new form of a visual novel that has not been achieved before. It is also the first time Nintendo owners will be able to play the game (Steins;Gate has previously been available on Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, PS Vita, and PC).
Truly, it sounds like this was the will of Steins Gate.
