According to its publisher Square Enix, the action role-playing game NieR: Automata developed by PlatinumGames has achieved an impressive feat – it has now exceeded nine million copies sold on all available platforms.

In other words, NieR: Automata’s sales success includes both physical copies sold and digital versions purchased for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and personal computers.

NieR: Automata Is The Sequel Of A Spin-Off

NieR: Automata represents the follow-up to the 2010 video game titled NieR, which serves as both a spin-off and continuation of the Drakengard series (referred to as Drag-On Dragoon in Japan). The narrative universe of NieR unfolds within an alternate timeline, set following a unique ending from the first Drakengard game that was launched for the PS2 in 2003.

In the game NieR: Automata, players assume the role of Android 2B, caught up in a conflict that’s essentially a stand-in for a war between machines created by aliens and androids designed by humans. This Role Playing Game (RPG) demands several replays to uncover additional story details.

One of Square Enix’s unexpected blockbusters is this game we’re talking about, which earned a 9/10 in our review. The review described it as an exceptional blend of smooth PlatinumGames action and JRPG mechanics, making it greater than the individual components. It offers a captivating environment, and characters that are endearing, relatable, and unforgettable, able to provoke both smiles and tug at your emotional heartstrings.

As for a follow-up to NieR: Automata, there’s been no announcement yet about its release date; however, executive producer Yosuke Saito has confirmed that the franchise will continue so long as its creator, Yoko Taro, remains active.

2021 saw the arrival of the latest installment in the NieR series, titled NieR Replicant ver. 1.22474487139. This game was a remastered version of the original NieR title and was playable on PS4, Xbox One, and PC platforms.

2025 might bring news of another NieR game, which would certainly be exciting if Square Enix has no significant releases scheduled for the coming year.

In an exciting turn of events, I recently found myself stepping into the shoes of 2B once more! This time, it was within the dynamic world of Stellar Blade, a thrilling action game by Shift Up. It seems that 2B and her story have made a remarkable crossover into this premium DLC, offering fans like me an unforgettable gaming experience.
