Start stockpiling tears
Square Enix today announced an April 23rd release date forNier Replicant Ver.1.22474487139…, the confusingly-named new edition of the 2010 action-RPG. This game is set millennia beforeNier: Automata, the first game in the series that came to PC, though it does have a few familiar faces. The new version is tweaked, expanded, and prettied-up a bit, supposedly enough that Squeenix call it an “update” or “modern re-telling” rather than use simple and helpful terms like ‘remaster’ or ‘remake’. Come enjoy some nice landscapes and sad music in the new trailer below.

The Japanese announcement said April 22nd on consoles and April 24 on Steam, but Squeenix’s American announcement says simply April 23rd for everything. On PC, Nier Replicant Ver.1.22474487139… is comingvia Steam, priced at £50/€60/$60.
It’s not clear exactly how much is changed, but I’m not really fussed, considering that not only was Replicant originally not on PC, it never got an official release outside Japan. The game known as “Nier” here is Nier: Gestalt, which is basically the same game, except Gestalt stars a dad instead of a brother. But yeup, it’s all new to me.
Today’s stream from the Tokyo Game Show also brought news that the free-to-play mobile game NieR Reincarnation is coming to Europe and North America, and thatthe Automata stage play, YoRHa,is coming back. Yes, a play.
Nier: Automata ishalf-price on Steamright now too. It is:well good. Do be sure to usethe fan fix for screen resolutions, mind. A terrible shame that the game is a bit wonky on PC, necessitating notes like this.
