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. chairman Chiyomaru Shikura shared a few details on MAGES.'
