NieR: Automata, the 2017 motion RPG from Yoko Taro and Platinum Video games, is a sequel to the NieR and Drakengard collection and has formally offered 10 million copies 9 years after its launch.
That is from a tweet/X publish and YouTube video shared by the official accounts of Nier and writer Sq. Enix, respectively. This publish comprises celebratory artwork for NieR: Automata.

Along with this milestone for Automata, Sq. Enix confirmed in a press launch that the 2021 remake of NieR, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139, has offered 2 million copies.
A six-minute YouTube video compiles the whole lot NieR: Automata-related from the previous decade. Except you are a giant fan, the quantity might be a lot increased than you anticipated. Along with the sport itself and its varied re-releases and ports, it consists of a number of live shows, stage shows, written works, animations, and extra.
It ends with a teasing assertion, with the textual content studying, “Nier: Automata continues…”
Curiously, Nier followers have possible been right here earlier than, though this might imply one other recreation is in growth. Whereas a lot of the NieR work proven in that video appears to trace at extra NieR to come back, it was by no means fairly the AAA online game rendition that followers have been hoping for. The story has been advised and sequels made in varied mediums thus far, together with a now-unavailable cell recreation that’s basically a direct sequel, however no full-fledged PC/console recreation has appeared prior to now 9 years. Perhaps different followers really feel in a different way, however I used to be a bit of disgusted by the concept. Even Yokootaro appeared a bit drained when he was final requested about it, saying that he was attempting to make new initiatives however stored getting canceled.
That is a disgrace, since that is the rule for Nier: Automata. Once we reviewed the sport in 2017, we gave it an 8.9/10 ranking and mentioned, “It is a loopy, stunning, and wildly entertaining journey filled with quirky concepts and nice gameplay. It might not have probably the most sensuous story or partaking characters, however its frenetic fight, coupled with stunning visuals and an excellent soundtrack, make it a must-see.”
