Just around the corner in early January.
The anime adaptation of Nier: Automata will take place on January 7, 2023 and to celebrate the release of a nice new trailer and about showcasing protagonists 2B and 9S as they do apocalyptic robot stuff in their nice apocalyptic robot future.
The trailer makes it look like a faithful retelling of at least the first part of the Nier: Automata story. However, we already know it’s a series full of alternate endings and secrets, some of which took years for the playerbase to discover – the last major one came out four years after release. All of which means I very much doubt we’ll see this series sticking to endings as planned. Expect a metafictional twist or detour.
It looks like the anime will be hitting the Crunchyroll streaming platform worldwide, as well as Hulu and Amazon Prime in many locales. Aniplex says it is “scheduled to air in over 160 countries and regions”.
A legendary game
Nier: Automata is one of the most critically acclaimed games of the last decade, a 2017 release that was fairly well-received at the time but has grown a cult following in the years since. It’s set on a devastated Earth from which humanity has fled, with the last survivors of our species living in space and sending soldiers to the surface to fight.
“Mankind has been driven from Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a final effort to take back the planet, the human resistance sends a force of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now, a war between machines and androids continues. A war that could soon reveal a long forgotten truth of the world,” says the official game description.
Anyway, get ready for an exciting release in 2023. It’ll be just another representation of why people love Nier so much.
