NieR:Automata continues to be a giant gross sales success for Sq. Enix, and in a celebratory video for the sport’s ninth anniversary, we now know the sport — a sequel to 2010’s NieR — has offered over 10 million models. Plus we have now a tease for the collection’ future
Final we heard, the 2017 motion RPG, which got here to Swap in 2022 by way of a wonderful port, had offered 9 million models again in December 2024. One other million copies offered in simply over a yr for a near-decade-old recreation is not dangerous in any respect.
However the massive information is the teaser on the finish of the trailer. Because the display screen fades to black, textual content seems to be typed onto the display screen: NieR:Automata to be continued…
So, what does this imply? Are we getting a direct sequel? A model new NieR recreation? A port of NieR Replicant, the remake of the unique NieR, from 2021?

The final time we bought a brand new recreation was Nier Reincarnation, a cellular gacha recreation in 2021 that has since ended international service. In fact, one thing followers need is a console model of that recreation akin to Octopath Traveler 0 (re: Champions of the Continent), however that could possibly be a pipe dream.
Oh, and this additionally is not the primary time Sq. Enix has teased the way forward for the collection and delivered little or no both. However Sq. Enix did single out the collection late final yr, stating that the corporate was “getting ready ‘just a bit one thing'”. So who is aware of.
