The Xbox Series X|S version is scheduled for October 29 at 16:00, with Spike Chunsoft handling the PC and Xbox Series X|S releases. This reboot is a significantly updated version of the 2009 Xbox 360 original, adjusting the scenario based on STEINS;GATE ELITE to make it more paced and easier to read. New world lines and ending scenarios have been added, including the gamma world line, which first appeared in a 2010 drama CD. All in-game voices have been re-recorded, and the BGM has been remade by composer Takeshi Abo. Graphics have been redrawn from line art, with event stills roughly doubling and backgrounds increasing by about 1.2 times compared to the Xbox 360 version. The animation tool E-mote brings characters to life with subtle facial expressions and natural breathing. The opening theme is \"Skyclad no Kansokusha\" by Kanako Ito. Prices start at 6,380 yen for the download version, 7,480 yen for the standard edition, and 12,980 yen for the limited edition.","whyItMatters":"The addition of the gamma world line, a scenario previously confined to a niche drama CD, gives returning players a reason to revisit the story, while the E-mote animation system marks a technical shift for the science adventure series.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe gamma world line first appeared in the June 2010 drama CD \u0026#34;STEINS;GATE Drama CD γ: Dark Dimensional HYDE,\u0026#34; released alongside two other drama CDs that filled gaps in the main story. The third disc was written as a standalone entertainment piece with no connection to the others, and it centers on Moeka Kiryu. In that scenario Mayuri is hospitalized long-term and Okabe finds himself in an extreme position. The RE:BOOT version differs from the drama CD in some ways, so both versions are playable.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reboot adds an \u0026#34;OBSERVER\u0026#34; function that shows a map of the story\u0026#39;s world lines, so players can see where they are and what branches they have taken.
