NieR: Automata producer Yosuke Saito is as much as one thing, and that one thing would possibly lastly be revealed in 2024.
We hear from Saito-san as a part of a bunch interview printed on Famitsu, the place he mentions that his key phrase for the approaching yr is “Shock.”
He then mentions that he is engaged on varied issues in order that he can implement the key phrase “Shock” within the early a part of 2024.
Funnily, he additionally provides that he must do one thing to right his persona in order that he can say “no” when requested, or he might die quickly.
Workaholic jokes (however are they actually jokes) apart, he goes on to ask us to please wait a bit of longer for a “huge announcement.” On prime of that, Saito-san additionally reminds that the second cour of the NieR: Automata anime is coming.
Whereas we do not know for positive that the large bulletins and surprises are associated to the NieR franchise, most of Saito-san’s work over the previous few years has been with Yoko Taro.
Collectively, they labored on the unique NieR, NieR: Automata, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, NieR Re[in]carnation, the NieR: Automata raid in Remaining Fantasy XIV, and the Voice of Playing cards trilogy.
Just some days in the past, Saito-san did some extra teasing, and earlier this yr he expressed confidence that Yoko Taro would do one other NieR recreation sooner or later, pledging to search out the funds for it when that occurs.
Contemplating that NieR: Automata has bought over 7.5 million copies, it should not be too arduous to persuade the executives at Sq. Enix to fork over stated funds.
In fact, we won’t exclude the chance that Saito-san could also be speaking about one thing else fully, the Voice of Playing cards sequence certainly got here from the left area, in spite of everything.
But, I’ll proceed to attempt to will one other NieR recreation into existence, and I am positive I am not the one one.
If 2B could be in just about each recreation within the universe, together with the just lately launched Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, she will get one other recreation of her personal, cannot she?
