Today Square Enix hosted a pre-release livestream dedicated to the NieR reimagination NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…
The gameplay, which you can see below, immediately started by showing how responsive and quick the controls are. Doubtlessly this is more than a remake, and will prove very familiar to those who loved NieR Automata.
You can check it out below.
Next is a look at gameplay featuring the older version of Nier (not dad Nier, mind you), who has a different action style. The bullet hell gameplay style has also certainly been preserved.
We then get a trailer revealing what is defined “Extra Content” with the 15 Nightmares dungeon that was originally delivered as DLC. It’ll let us play as “dad Nier” (the protagonist of NieR Gestalt) and receive bonus costumes when cleared. We also see an extra episode titled “Mermaid,” from a story that was originally released as a short novel.
The 4YoRHa free DLC with costumes from NieR Automata has also been released. It’ll launch on day one.
