<p><em>NieR: Automata </em>was announced back at E3 2015 at the Square Enix press conference, under the title of <em>NieR New Project</em>. Well, now there&#8217;s a name and a gameplay video, showcasing the increased focus on action. Developed by PlatinumGames, the game will be coming exclusively to PlayStation 4.</p>
<p><em>NieR </em>became a cult hit in 2010 and served as the final game developed by Cavia Inc., who soon dissolved after its release. PlatinumGames have been tapped to bring a more action-oriented approach to the series, which is evident in the gameplay footage. The main character of <em>NieR: Automata</em> is an android named 2B, who serves as part of the resistance against mechanized life-forms that have invaded and overtaken Earth. So expect lots of machines as enemies (hence the name).</p>
<p>Series creator Yoko Taro will be back at the helm with producer Yosuke Saito and composer Keiichi Okabe. Also, a <em>Final Fantasy </em>regular, Akihiko Yoshia, is in charge of character design. There is no release date yet for <em>NieR: Automata</em>.</p>
