NieR Automata, published by Square Enix, has become a cult game

(one more in the Platinum catalog) since its launch in 2017, when it arrived on PS4 and PC. A year later it would arrive on Xbox One and in 2019 it would be hot again with the launch of the Game of the YoRHa Edition, which included all of the game’s downloadable content.

Automata’s success sparked future plans for the license, which in April 2021, it will return with the remaster of NieR Replicant, the game of 2010, officially known as NieR Replicant Ver 1.22. The long-awaited remastering is announced for now only on PS4, Xbox One and Steam.
