Steins;??? is in development by Chiyomaru Studio and Mages,[2] and is written by Mages' representative director Chiyomaru Shikura.[6] It was initially known internally under the working title Steins;God[c] until Shikura decided against it.[3][8] Shikura wanted to create something new with Steins;???, as he considered Steins;Gate to be complete after the original game and Steins;Gate 0,[9] and thought that further Steins;Gate games would be redundant. The idea of creating a Steins;Gate take on Chaos;Child came from how, although Chaos;Child's plot had been well received, it had only sold about a tenth as many copies as Steins;Gate.[10]
Shikura brought up the concept of a Steins;God game in a Famitsu interview in September 2018,[7] and Science Adventure series producer Tatsuya Matsubara teased that a new game in the series was in development by February 2019.[11] The game was eventually announced by Mages during their business strategy presentation in October 2020, as part of a celebration of the original Steins;Gate's tenth anniversary, with the second half of the title obscured;[1][6][12] at the time, Shikura had finished planning a large amount of the game's story sequences.[6]
Voice actors Asami Imai, Mamoru Miyano, and Tomokazu Seki, who respectively played the characters Kurisu Makise, Rintaro Okabe, and Itaru "Daru" Hashida in Steins;Gate, are set to be part of the project.[13]
Steins;??? is planned to be released by Mages, but the release date and platform have not been revealed.[2] According to Shikura, it is possible that an anime or film adaptation of Steins;??? could be released before the game itself is available, depending on the publisher's intellectual property department; other Steins;??? media, such as novels, was not planned as of 2020.[6] In a November 2024 interview, Matsubara stated that concepts for Steins;??? were in the process of being put together.[14]
