A new NieR: Automata presentation will be broadcast this week, Square Enix announced over the weekend, featuring a combination of producers and vocal talent from the upcoming Nier sequel. The presentation will include new NieR: Automata gameplay footage, along with information about the campaign, and it’s probably safe to assume this is the last we’ll see of NieR before 2017.
The upcoming live stream will be co-produced by Dengeki, a popular Japanese publication, with moderator duties being handled by writer and editor Tadatsugu. It will also feature appearances from Yui Ishikawa and Natsuki Hanae, two voice actors from the NieR: Automata cast, along with Square Enix Producer Yosuke Saito and Platinum Games Producer Eijiro Nishimura. The entire presentation will air on YouTube and NicoNico Live.
While there’s been no word on the presentation’s contents, we wouldn’t be shocked to see next week’s NieR: Automata demo take center stage on Thursday. Fans around the globe will get a chance to go hands-on with NieR beginning late next week, just in time for a holiday weekend marathon, and it would make sense for Square Enix to use some of that content in their next NieR: Automata live stream. Especially since some gamers, particularly younger fans at the mercy of their parents, will be too busy with holiday plans to extensively explore the demo build.
For more on NieR: Automata , be sure to tune into Square Enix’s live stream on Dec. 15 (this Thursday) at 6 a.m. EST. Alternately, if you missed last week’s NieR trailer, released during the 2016 PlayStation Experience, take few minutes to get caught up while you wait for the next round of NieR: Automata announcements.
NieR: Automata is in development for PlayStation 4 and PC. The game debuts March 7, 2017.
