A plethora of new details on NieR: Automata materialized during Sony’s PlayStation Experience, including a new trailer, the game’s North American launch date and details on the NieR: Automata Collector’s Editions we’ll see in stores early next year.
A brief new trailer for NieR: Automata debuted on Saturday, alongside details on two physical versions of the game, and it finally provided a timeline for the upcoming Nier sequel. Admittedly, Square Enix packs quite a bit of action into the 48-second teaser. But the only thing newsworthy about the new NieR: Automata trailer is the release date at the end of the video. Thankfully, Square Enix and PlatinumGames also released new information on the massive (and expensive) limited edition NieR: Automata that will be available at launch.
Here’s everything players will find in the $190 NieR: Automata Black Box Edition :
NieR: Automata
Exquisitely crafted YoRHa “2B” Figurine.
Hardback 64-page artbook detailing the stunning artwork and illustrations from the game.
Exclusive steelbook case featuring artwork from renowned Akihiko Yoshida ( Final Fantasy XIV / Bravely Default ).

NieR: Automata Black Box Edition will also include a “sleek black” collector’s box to store all of the aforementioned items.
