The story, written by Yoko, references several philosophies and explores themes of finding value in life and the reasons people kill.Īnnounced at the 2015 Electronic Entertainment Expo, Nier: Automata received media expansions to its world and narrative, and both downloadable content and crossovers with other games post-release. As a project entirely new to PlatinumGames, its staff faced multiple challenges when developing the gameplay and open world environment.
The goal was to make a Nier game true to the spirit of the original, while simultaneously crafting a better combat system. Production began in 2014, with series creator Yoko Taro, producer Yosuke Saito, and lead composer Keiichi Okabe returning to their respective roles, and artist Akihiko Yoshida taking charge of character design. Gameplay combines role-playing elements with action-based hack and slash combat, and features switches between video game genres similar to that of Nier with elements ranging from shoot 'em up to text adventure. The story requires multiple playthroughs, each unlocking additional story elements. Set during a proxy war between alien-created machines and human-crafted androids, the story follows the trials of androids 9S, 2B and A2.
The game originally released for the PlayStation 4 and Windows via Steam, with an Xbox One port being published the following year with the subtitle Become As Gods Edition. It is a sequel to the 2010 video game Nier, itself a spin-off and sequel of the Drakengard series. Nier: Automata is a 2017 action role-playing game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Square Enix.
