According to this new information, Replicant is “much more than a remaster” and features gameplay designed to accommodate players whose first experience with the series was Nier: Automata. It has also been confirmed that staff members from PlatinumGames have been consulting on Replicant.
Naturally, Replicant’s aim as a remaster is to make everything feel more polished than in the original game, but it seems the original camera work will remain intact. There will also be new voice acting in Replicant – just to clarify, the original voice actors are all reprising their roles, but will be re-recording their performances.
On top of this, it’s been made clear that the voice actors for 2B and 9S will be involved, suggesting a potential change in direction for Replicant. Finally, Replicant will introduce a range of new characters and there’s a possibility it could even feature a new ending.
Nier: Replicant was announced last month and will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC. In related news, a trailer for mobile game Nier: Reincarnation recently dropped.
