NieR: Automata is a third-person action role-playing game in which the human race is driven from the Earth and takes refuge on the moon. An army of androids is sent into the fray, and the war soon unveils the dark truth about the world.Developed in collaboration with PlatinumGames Inc., NieR:Automata delivers the perfect mix of action and RPG gameplay in a beautifully desolate open world as players battle as androids 2B, 9S and A2 in the fight to reclaim the world for their human creators.
