It's been confirmed that the English version of popular Japanese visual novel Steins;Gate is heading to iOS.

This comes after yesterday's reveal of the English version of the game heading to PS Vita (and PS3) in 2015 courtesy of publisher PQube.

Following that news up, a fan asked Japanese developer 5pb. on Twitter if the iOS version - which is available in Japan already - would get an English translation.

"iOS STEINS;GATE(English Ver.) will release behind PS3&Vita Ver.," the studio's official Twitter account replied.

Hence we now know that the English version of Steins;Gate will appear on iOS as well.

There's no word as to whether the Android version (available on Google Play [download]) will also get translated, but it seems likely.

Steins;Gate is priced 3000 on the Japanese App Store [buy], which converts to £20.99 / $29.99. Whether it will stay at the price or not, we'll have to see.
