If you think Netflix’s ‘Dark’ is the only series that can blow your mind, you will be proven wrong in the near future as a new project is under production from the Stiens;Gate franchise.

Steins;Gate is often considered the pinnacle of all sci-fi anime, and is known for its bizarre choices and events that often take unexpected turns.

It’s easy to mess up with the plot while dealing with time travel but requires absolute brilliance to make a time-travel story stand out from the rest, and that’s exactly what the anime did.

The official Twitter account for Stein;Gate revealed an image to tease us about an upcoming project from the franchise.

“World Line Fluctuation 0.210317%

The story shall be “Reborn”

In the image, we see “World Line Fluctuation” numbers (0.210317) in a set of cathode tubes, somewhat mimicking how the games and anime displayed the level of divergence between various parallel universes.

These numbers most probably represent a date, March 17, 2021 (21/03/17), when a more detailed announcement will be made.

Later on today, a short clip was released where the number 0.210317 changes to 0.170922! This can either mean that a detailed announcement will be made on 2021.03.17. 09:22 (JST), or that the project will premiere on 2022.09.17.

“Do you really have a leading Steiner !?

Fan have come up with another theory that 170922 may mean 2017.09.22. Now, what happened on that specific date? Well, Chiyomaru showed the very first “gameplay” video about Steins;Gate Elite. This makes us wonder if the announcement on the 17th will be about 0 Elite.

As you might expect, the amount of data is enormous … In addition, you can play the special edition at the Tokyo Game Show venue, which will finally be open to the public from tomorrow! I’d love to~

There are so many possibilities on what may be coming next, making it tough for us to predict anything with certainty. If you ask me, I think it will be related to the new project that the franchise announced back in October 2020.

-Project No.009

The concept of time-travel is nothing new for us, yet we never get bored watching more and more of it.

Every new announcement on this ‘Big Project’ keeps us on the edge of our seats, pretty much the same way the original anime did and I can’t wait for March 17 to meet my curiosity.

About Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate follows the eccentric and melodramatic Okabe Rintaro, who often calls himself “Hououin Kyouma” – an enthusiastic scientist who runs a lab called the Future Gadget Laboratory with his childhood friend Mayuri and his hacker friend Daru.

With the accidental creation of a time leap machine and an encounter with the genius scientist Makise Kurisu, Okabe’s world turns upside down as he clashes with a top-secret evil organization called SERN.
