If you've been eagerly anticipating the Hong Kong cinema-inspired Showdown in Chinatown update for Reverse: 1999, the wait is finally over! Version 2.5, part one, is now live, bringing with it a host of new content, including limited and five-star characters.

In the latest update, the notorious arcanist criminal Nightpiercer resurfaces in Los Angeles. Officer Liang Yue, assigned by the Vigiles Bureau, teams up with the Division of Arcane Affairs to take down Nightpiercer once and for all. Liang Yue is introduced as part of the limited-time "Moonbeam Guardian" Dushuo Limited Banner, and comes with a free garment for the beloved character, Windsong, available to all players. If you're aiming to add these top-tier characters to your roster, you'll be thrilled to know that there are 40 free pulls available through various rewards and events.

Alongside the new characters, Reverse: 1999 version 2.5 part one introduces two exciting challenges: "When the Alarm Sounds" and the board game-themed "Critter Crash," both available until the 29th. These challenges offer special rewards, including Limited Portraits and a new garment.

The traditional Chinese-style dress that Liang Yue wears is also inspiring a new garment series called "Old Stories New Perspectives," which is now available for characters Jiu Niangzi, Tuesday, Sotheby, The Fool, and Windsong.

Keep an eye out for the new limited building, where you can collect Red Envelopes through tasks and minigames. These can be swapped for a variety of rewards, from 5-star insight coupons and portraits to growth materials.
