Square Enix has announced NieR: Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition.

While further information has yet to be announced, the NieR: Automata official Japanese Twitter account said it will share details in the coming hours.

Back in November, the Entertainment Software Rating Board rated NieR: Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition for PlayStation 4 and PC.

Here is a message from director Yoko Taro on the announcement:

Square Enix has asked me for a comment to mark the announcement of NieR: Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition.
Now that you mention it, NieR: Automata was first released on February 23, 2017 in Japan, March 7, 2017 in America, and March 10, 2017 in Europe.
I have noticed something bizarre and fascinating about these numbers.
If you write these dates out in long-form as 20170223, 20170307, and 20170310, then add all three numbers together, you get 60510840.
If you take that total, split the digits in two down the middle, making 6051 and 0840, then subtract the second number from the first… unbelievably you get 5211!!
That’s right, a number completely devoid of all meaning!
Just like life really, isn’t it? Over and out.​

This game is personal game of the generation but there just one piece of DLC that I already got so think I need get this. But for people who haven’t got this then don’t miss out, it was fantastic game.

Also the DLC is pretty fun if enjoyed the combat.

Is it really that good? I've never played it.

I personally LOOOOOVED it but maybe watch some gameplay videos or reviews to see if its game for you.

Ah the old mathematical bait and switch. The man is a treasure.

Is it really that good? I've never played it.

It's incredible.

 

[mindfreak191]

I never played this, mostly because I heard that the PC port was horseshit and I didn't feel like playing it on my ps4....so I'm really curious if they fixed the port this time around....

 

[Omega Supreme Holopsicon]

Don't mind double dip if it's priced right.

 

[Blade2.0]

Waiting paid off

 

[struggler_guts]

Waiting paid off

My thoughts exactly

 

[Kagey K]

This game deserves to be rereleased every single year for now until I’m tired of it and I will keep rebuying it.

I usually hate rebuying games, but there are certain ones that deserve it and this is one of them.

I love how every time you might be starting to tire a bit it changes genres or perspective on you and feels like a totally different game for a bit.

It’s like playing 3 or 4 really great games of different genres at the same time.

I will Become As Gods as many times as it will let me.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I'll never buy or play this game untill they fix it on PC and they'll never will so I guess to me this game does not exists.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Hope they increase the resolution and add HDR.

 

[Kagey K]

Hope they increase the resolution and add HDR.

HDR is broken on XB1X,so you better hope they do it better and don’t just port that.

 

[CuNi]

I was a click away from getting it in the steam autumn sale... Glad the rumor came true. Will wait for that release then and buy it. Hope it will be fixed on PC though.

 

[Kagey K]

Buy it now and by the time you beat this release you might only have to wait a bit for the next release.

It should be bought and played over and over again.

 

[gioGAF]

I'm sorry if I missed something, but I have a question. Is this a PHYSICAL release?

 

[Spaltazar]

i would have loved a meaty expansion or fun dlc where you play as a goofy robot for this rather then just some arena dlc

 

[Screamer-RSA]

I'll never buy or play this game untill they fix it on PC and they'll never will so I guess to me this game does not exists.

I bit in the autumn sale, was low enough that I was willing to pay for a game where I have to install a fucking user made patch to fix a game a multi million dollar company couldn't be arsed to fix.

Just watch these fuckers release the new edition with exactly the same issues or even worse, fix it there and not in the original. Incompetent.

I personally LOOOOOVED it but maybe watch some gameplay videos or reviews to see if its game for you.

I was so surprised by it.. God the GAMEPLAY IS AMAZING in Nier
