"It's been nine years since Nier: Automata first graced the PlayStation 4 and broke through to players beyond director Yoko Taro's usual esoteric action-RPG fandom. But there hasn't been a new game since. Fans are desperate for that to chance. Square Enix just gave them fresh hope. " Nier: Automata to be continued." That's how a celebratory trailer during an anniversary livestream on Friday ended. It could mean a lot of things. Fans hope it means Nier: Automata 2,"
"The action-RPG stars an android named 2B in a post-apocalyptic world where human-made robots are at war with invading alien machines. Developed by PlatinumGames, the combat sings and thanks to Taro's baroque storytelling process, the game must be played and finished multiple times to reveal its true secrets. Set in the same world as 2010's Nier, it succeeded way beyond the cult-classic legacy of the original."
Nine years have passed since Nier: Automata launched on PlayStation 4 and no new mainline console sequel has appeared. Square Enix ended an anniversary livestream with the line "Nier: Automata to be continued," renewing hopes for a direct sequel or a new RPG within the Nier lineage. The action-RPG follows android 2B in a post-apocalyptic world where human-made robots battle invading alien machines; PlatinumGames crafted praised combat and Yoko Taro's layered storytelling rewards multiple playthroughs. The game exceeded expectations with over 10 million sales, spawned guest appearances and a 2021 mobile spin-off, but a proper console sequel remains absent.
