NieR: Automata producer Yosuke Saito is as much as one thing, and that one thing may lastly be revealed in 2024.
We hear from Saito-san as a part of a gaggle interview printed on Famitsu, the place he mentions that his key phrase for the approaching 12 months is “Shock.”
He then mentions that he is engaged on numerous 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 longer for a “huge announcement.” On high 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 Closing Fantasy XIV, and the Voice of Playing cards trilogy.
Only a few days in the past, Saito-san did some extra teasing, and earlier this 12 months he expressed confidence that Yoko Taro would do one other NieR sport in some unspecified time in the future, pledging to search out the price range for it when that occurs.
Contemplating that NieR: Automata has offered over 7.5 million copies, it should not be too onerous to persuade the executives at Sq. Enix to fork over mentioned price range.
In fact, we won’t exclude the likelihood that Saito-san could also be speaking about one thing else fully, the Voice of Playing cards sequence absolutely got here from the left area, in spite of everything.
But, I’ll proceed to attempt to will one other NieR sport into existence, and I am positive I am not the one one.
If 2B may be in just about each sport within the universe, together with the just lately launched Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, she will get one other sport of her personal, cannot she?
