NieR: the end of the series announced … really?

Game news NieR: the end of the series announced … really?

Last round for NieR … before the next

Yoko Taro is not just anyone in the video game landscape and has always been known for its weird but strangely fascinating games, a far cry from the usual video game codes and sailing from idea to idea : When he was with Cavia, for example, the man put the Drakengard, which eleven years ago finally led to the first NieR. In addition to the excellent sequel to Automata or the brand new damn original card game Voice of Cards, his Emile mask, which is constantly worn in public, definitely sets him apart from other industry giants.

It is therefore true that the director, accompanied by Yosuke Saito and the talented composer Keiichi Okabe, wanted to wish his entire community a Happy New Year in a video shared on social networks … the opportunity to declare the end of his beloved franchise. “You heard it here before everyone else: The NieR saga is now over!”

Not really enough to bring all fans a nice New Year’s Eve: Fortunately, the mood relaxes quickly there Yoko Taro explained that “That could be a lie”, followed by the option to continue the streak for large amounts of money. It didn’t need to smell irony anymore, especially when we see the general good mood the three acolytes shared during the few minutes of filming.

No time to deny

So, despite what the Japanese said or even the official tweet from NieR, we don’t really have to worry about it – and that’s a damn good thing, we’re reassured. It must be said that the franchise is based on a gigantic potential that we could already guess in the first episode, very imperfect, but support each other with great charm and offer a completely atypical experience. If you want to renew your culture or just want to refresh your memory, know that his honestly observant port, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139, was released this summer.

Then, the test will finally materialize years later with NieR Automata, developed by Platinum Games in direct collaboration with Yoko Taro. Released in 2017, this action game is easy for many one of the best titles of the generation

Finally, We can also mention NieR Reincarnation, a mobile game that was first released in Japan and takes the form of a very successful gacha : It’s also a success as the application had no fewer than 15 million downloads for the latest news last September (only for a July release). In short, so much to say that it would be a shame to complete Never forever.
