A new visual novel titled Steins;Gate 0 and an anime adaptation of it were announced today. The news came in addition to the ChäoS;Child anime announcement during 5pb's live stream today, held by representative Chiyomaru Shikura.  This game will be a sequel to the visual novel Steins;Gate and will also incorporate content from the Epigraph Trilogy of light novels/manga (Heiji Kyokusen no Epigraph, Eigou Kaiki no Pandora, and Mugen Enten no Arutaeru) and the drama CDs. This latest installment of the series will be the first to have a numbering title. Steins;Gate was previously adapted into a TV anime series in 2011 and a movie in 2013.

Didn't expect that...the hype will be insane ;( I hope Okabe will be as awesome as ever though :)  |
Great...Tuturu~ Hope there's enough "El Psy Congroo" and "sonuvabitch" to mindfuck me again :D  |
Good, Good. Great news. I just hope it's good. |
It's not needed but always welcomed.  |
Meh. It feels like it will be in the same vain of the movie, a cash grab, and milking. Not looking forward to it.  |

Today I will be finishing the last chapter of Steins;Gate, naisu taimingu! >w<   |
HYPE Although after thinking it over, I also have some mixed thoughts about this now considering how well S;G ended.  |
Time to marathon the franchise! |
I'm very excited, pls be something good.  |
Can't wait; I've been watching the teaser trailer over and over for the past fifteen minutes! I just hope it doesn't go the route of the movie, though. Colour me excited. And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |
[intense gasping] Tutturu ~ |
Oh man, too much glory with these two announcements!  |

YES Now to decide between VN or anime version... Would much rather play VN but something tells me it won't get TL till way after the anime and idk if I can dodge spoilers that long Modified by Kittenpotpie, Mar 28, 2015 9:03 AM  |
This is dumb, the story is finished and the movie already felt like a tacked on addition that barely enhanced the experience. What can a sequel possibly bring to the table that doesn't feel like a forced attempt to milk it? And while I agree that it was overall a somewhat decent series, the immense hype about the show ever since I watched it weekly back then continues to suprise me. |
The hype train just passed by and it was a BIG one. I will give it a try if it is not a useless sequel. But if it is, eh.  |
I hope this one will live up to the original... |
Never expected this. I hope it's good :o  |
Never would have seen this coming, not in a million years. But now that it is, I am so excited! If this can even be close to being as good as the original I'll be happy, but I do confess to having very slight reservations considering how well Steins;Gate ended.  |
Chugga chugga chugga. All aboard the Hype Train!!! |
Just to clarify something. This is not a true sequel (neither was the movie because it's not canon and shouldn't be considered as such), because it's only the continuation of the world line where he failed to save Kurisu, and how he will start working on the video mail. Please don't state it as an actual sequel... That said, I'm skeptical, because all these spin-offs have a huge chance at fucking up the established rules of the world and by that messing up the whole story :/ I won't consider it canon unless they truly don't make any mistake.  |
I didn't see it coming, but i'm hyped ! |
Excited for this. While both the OVA and the movie didn't add much to the story (other than a few inconsistencies), I've always been quite interested in Okabe's life 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
Hmmm, not sure what to think of this. Very conflicted. 'Once an Arsenal man, always an Arsenal man.' - Bob Wilson. |
Let's see how this turns out to be. |
But why? The series ended beautifully with the film, there isnt really a need for a sequel. Oh well lets see how it goes. |

Yay for milking  |

Hope the sequel is as good or even better than the original. I will be calm about this one, don't want to feel disappointed when it starts to air.  |

Chiyomaru Shikura said so himself: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-03-28/steins-gate-0-follow-up-game-and-anime-announced/.86470 It is still a spin-off. The Epigraph Trilogy explained the future of that world line, which we didn't have to sit through thanks to how the world of S;G works. It's not an actual part of the main story, therefore it is a spin-off. I have no idea why they would call it a sequel when it actually happens "before" the ending. It is a sequel of that world line, but not a sequel of the Steins;Gate world line. It's 1.129848%. |
Yo isn't this kind of announcement 4 days early?  |
And the hype bomb is dropped, ready for mass explosion. |
Love Steins;Gate. One of my top 5 anime, but this is one of those series that doesn't ever need a sequel. the way it ended was a master piece. Plus the movie made it even more beautiful. I will check it out but this just seems like a cash grab by Nitroplus.  |
Hype Train coming through CHOOO CHOOO!! |
If it's β timeline, wouldn't that mean Hasida is a hunk and the head of the resistance? I still wouldn't want a world without The Zombie Assistant.  |
happy for the fans sadly im not fan of this serie :/ Sturgeon's law : 90% of Everything is Crap |
Wasn't a fan of the movie, so I'm not sure about this. G_Spark233 said: Yay for milking Pretty much. |
This will be one of those times that I sit back and let others watch and review it. The ending was pleasant enough for me and if the new project detracts from it, then I will let others eat the anguish instead of me.  |
I'm so happy. So excited ;w; |
I have a feeling it will ruin the series, since Steins;Gate ended reall well... let's hope I'm wrong and it can live to expectations |
TUTURUUUUU ~  Nico- said: @Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite Salman bin Abdul Aziz said: @Comic_Sans I hate to insult you on forums but you are just a troll so just go kill yourself already bitch |
Maybe this can motivate me to finally watch the movie and play the VN. Maybe.  |
This is great news, although I think a new installment isn't necessary is totally welcome. We can only expected to have the same quality as the previous works... It will be very interesting to see this part of the story, I really hope that is represented brilliantly. They will be very careful, I think and I hope.  |
My body is ready |
