In terms of characters, Officer Liang Yue, with her arsenal of martial arts moves, will be infiltrating the movie set of Noire, a wheelchair-bound, perfectionist director. Noire's unique abilities allow her to control actors as if they were puppets, using them to combat enemies. Another intriguing addition is Loggerhead, a character whose head is literally a camera, adding a unique twist to the roster.

While we await the livestream to confirm which elements will make it into the international version of Reverse: 1999, fans of Shaw Brothers and John Woo films can anticipate plenty of nods to these cinematic legends in version 2.5.
