This week’s Famitsu magazine (officially titled Weekly Famitsu Magazine August 20-27 020 Issue) included a huuuge interview with Mages PresidentChiyomaru Shikura, who I don’t really need to introduce if you know aboutSteins;Gateand clicked on this article in the first place.As you already know,a special pagefor the tenth anniversary projects ofSteins;Gateopenedback in April 2019. The originalSteins;Gategame released on Xbox 360 in Japan on August 22, 2025, over ten years ago now. The anniversary projects were said to be ten projects in total, and seven have been revealed so far, of varying amplitude. It included most notably concerts, an appearance at C97, aHello Kittycollab, and an Hollywood adaptation were announced too.However, we haven’t heard yet about anniversary Projects 7 to 9.In the Famitsu magazine interview, Chiyomaru Shikura explained the announcements have been delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. He explained that Project 7 will be time-limited free access to theSteins;Gateanime and manga adaptations. They’re currently setting things up and it’ll be officially announced soon. He didn’t mention it, but needless to say there’s a very high chance this will be limited to Japan.Moreover, Project 8 will be the announcement of new, big event on theScience Adventure SeriesandSteins;Gate. Shikura mentioned this big event is the same event where we’ll learn ;Codeand its release date (estimate).Ultimately, this big event is also where we’ll get to see what Project 9 is, and Chiyomaru Shikura really hyped it up, meaning it’ll definitely be some kind of newSteins;Gategame.Chiyomaru Shikura:“This event is where we’ll reveal our plans for Project 9. We’re going to drop a huge bomb and you all. Look forward to it.“Chiyomaru Shikura also mentioned he’d like to do a “Anime Adventure"Steins;Gategame again, as in an ADV game with actual anime scenes. The same kind of game asSteins;Gate Elite, which reuses footage from the anime adaptation. He said it’d probably be “Steins;Gate Zero Elite”, to introduceZeroto those who haven’t played it yet. He mentionedAnonymous;Codehas references toSteins;Gate Zerotoo, so he’d really like people to experience its story soon. Note that aSteins;Gate Zero Elitewas already announced in January 2020 at theScience Adventure Series10th Anniversary Live. Though with no release date or platforms.
Chiyomaru Shikura also wanna make aScience Adventure Seriescrossover gameafterAnonymous;Code.
We’ll keep covering more of the interview in a separate article.
