'NieR: Automata' (ALL) Novel Coming In Fall 2020

by Rainier on Nov. 18, 2019 @ 8:07 a.m. PST

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.

At Anime NYC, Square Enix revealed six new titles in its English-language manga, novels and art book line-up for 2020.

The titles, releasing Fall 2020, will be published by the company’s new Square Enix Manga & Books imprints and include a brand new novel, NieR:Automata YoRHa Boys, along with a selection of manga, including The Apothecary Diaries, Ragna Crimson, The Great Jahy will not be Defeated!, Beauty and the Feast and By the Grace of the Gods.

NieR:Automata YoRHa Boys, written by Jun Eishima and supervised by NieR:Automata Director Yoko Taro, takes place before the beginning of the award-winning post-apocalyptic action role-playing game and focuses on the story of YoRHa Experimental Unit M, a squadron composed of YoRHa male type models established for the purpose of collecting a full range of behavioural data. The novel also includes artwork by famed Final Fantasy illustrator, Toshiyuki Itahana.
