Square Enix has announced that they will now be launching NieR: Automata in early 2017 for the PlayStation 4, meaning that it has been delayed a bit from its originally planned release window of late 2016. NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S, and A2 and their battle to try and reclaim the mechanoid-driven dystopia overrun by powerful weapons known as “machine lifeforms.”
2B will be the main playable character and is an all purpose battle android who is a member of the automated infantry squad YoRHa. You can check out the E3 trailer for NieR: Automata below as well as a few new screenshots.
