A little over 30 minutes of new NieR: Automata gameplay is out this week, thanks to a pair of new releases from Sony and Square Enix, and the tandem has us pretty hyped to get our hands on NieR: Automata when the game hits PS4 in a few weeks.
PlayStation Underground published more than 29 minutes of new NieR: Automata gameplay on Monday morning, featuring narration from PlayStation Blog’s Ryan Clements and two Square Enix employees. The video offers a brief explanation of the game’s story for anyone who hasn’t been following development of NieR: Automata, but the majority of the footage follows NA ’s protagonist, the android known as 2B, as she explores the game’s open world. The new video features a handful of activities, including plenty of combat, but (if you ask us) confirmation of a fishing mini-game is obviously the most important news of the week.
Elsewhere, Square Enix published a new NieR: Automata trailer that combines gameplay and in-game cinematics to tease a number of plot strings from the upcoming action RPG. Most of the gameplay features enemies and locales we’ve seen in previous videos, but there are a few new sights (and sounds) too. As usual, we’re steering clear of spoiler content in our write-up but those trying to learn as little as possible prior to launch should consider themselves warned.
For more on NieR: Automata , set aside the half hour you’ll need to watch all the new gameplay footage making the rounds this week. Then head down to the comments section and let us know if you’re planning to dive into NieR: Automata when the game debuts later this month.
NieR: Automata is in development for PS4 and PC. The game will make its PlayStation 4 debut on Feb. 23, 2017.
