Yoko Taro and company can make one hell of a world
This past week, Famitsu debuted some screenshots for the upcomingNieR Replicantre-release. Now, they’re available for all to seethrough Square Enix’sNieRTwitter account!
In case you forgot,NieR Replicantis a re-release of the classic re-release ofNieR(haha): an upgraded version with a different protagonist, among other changes. Square Enix is opting to bring that game back to representNieRas a whole later this year on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Confusingly, its developer is not calling it a “remaster” or a “remake.”Instead they insist on the term “upgraded,”with reworked concepts like a whole new battle system refined by a member of Platinum Games. It’s iterating on the original release ofReplicant, in other words, likeReplicant 2.0. Or, in the words of Yoko Taro and company, “ver.1.22474487139″ which definitely is not even more confusing.
This…”upgrade project” is out later this year sometime on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. There’s also a new mobileNieRon the way.
