With blockbuster hit Nier: Automata approaching its seventh birthday, followers are questioning once they’ll get a sequel. It appears like one is coming, however not any time quickly.
At Korean sport occasion G-STAR 2023, Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito mentioned, whereas Nier chief Yoko Taro is alive, they may launch a brand new entry within the Nier collection. That’s in response to a write-up by Japanese publication 4Gamer translated by Twitter person Genki.
In the meantime, Saito and Taro are supposedly engaged on one other, non-Nier associated challenge the pair hope to speak about someday in 2024.
Action RPG Nier: Automata launched in 2017 and wowed critics and followers with its lovely places and zany, fun-filled fight. It was a shock breakout hit for Square Enix, and went on to promote a powerful 7.5 million copies. There have been many crossover occasions since, numerous Nier-related promotions, and a remaster of the primary sport. There’s even a Nier anime. But thus far there’s been no phrase in a brand new mainline sequel.
Given the massive reputation of Nier: Automata, you’d think about Square Enix would need a follow-up out sooner somewhat than later. But in response to 4Gamer, Taro mentioned repeating Automata’s big gross sales success could be “fully not possible”. Saito’s view was somewhat softer, saying it wouldn’t be “simple”.
