Square Enix anounced NieR New Project, a new NieR game developed by Platinum Games for PlayStation 4.

According to Platinum Games producer Atsushi Inaba, the request was to instill new strength in the NieR franchise by levering Platinum’s specialty, action.

This is such awesome news!!!!

Excellent - Very happy to see key members of the team returning especially the composer

This is going to be great! Nier was a odd game but an amazing odd game... Hope this goes well!

Is the world of this game tied to that of the previous game?

Yoko: “The setting is connected, but that doesn’t mean the story is connected. This game is set in the future, so it’s okay if you start with this game. Rather, people who played the previous game and come into this thinking it’s a sequel might be confused.”

Will characters from the previous game appear?

Yoko: “Not everyone, but some characters will appear. But not as core characters.”

From the sound of it, yes.

According to someone from eurogamer, news about nier automata is embargoed till thursday and not be at the conference. Check 10:50 of the vid

But, as Sinncross mentioned. That doesn't rule out the possibility of a trailer.

after what we got at E3 I feel like anything can happen at these events.

so I will just remain hopeful. If it is not there then it is not there. Not going to cry over it lol

but i do hope it is there... and all.

Not sure, XD Nier does take place in a alternate ending of drakengard.
So I'm guessing Automata does too.

So from the sound of it, the footage was in 30FPS but the game will run at 60FPS.

Official and best quality trailer is out!
