Known details
Little is known about the title as of yet, but MAGES. chairman Chiyomaru Shikura shared a few details on MAGES.' October 25 livestream. Most notably, Steins;??? is being developed as a thematic sequel to the Steins;Gate titles, similarly to how Chaos;Child serves as a thematic sequel to Chaos;Head, and unlike the direct-sequel relationship that Robotics;Notes DaSH shares with Robotics;Notes.

Steins;??? 's status as a thematic sequel suggests that the focus of the title will shift away from the cast of Steins;Gate.
