At what point in the timeline does the Steins;Gate movie take place?


The new _Steins;Gate_ movie, _Steins;Gate: Fuka Ryōiki no Déjà vu_ , is set to
come out in Japan on April 20th this year.
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steins;Gate%3a_Fuka_Ry%C5%8Diki_no_D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu)
says it is "based on the video game and anime series", but does not say
whether it replaces the series, or if it's before, concurrent, or after the
existing series.

When will this new movie take place in the _Steins;Gate_ timeline?




Now that the movie is out, we can definitively say exactly when it takes place
in the series. According to
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steins;Gate%3a_Fuka_Ry%C5%8Diki_no_D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu):

> The film takes place in August 2011, one year after the events of the anime
> series.

Having seen the film myself, I can confirm this. The events in the film occur
in August 2011, a year after the ending of the anime where Okabe is ostensibly
on the Steins;gate timeline. For obvious reasons, it's only compatible with
the true ending of the VN (the one which the anime followed most closely).

It is worth pointing out that this is not compatible with the official non-
canon sequel [Steins;Gate: Hen'i Kuukan no Octet](http://vndb.org/v9887).
