Nier: Automata<\/em><\/strong> is one of the biggest surprise RPG hits of the past generation, bringing the works of Yoko Taro into the mainstream.\u00a0The director has been making bizarre and eccentric RPGs since the debut of Drakengard<\/em> on the PlayStation 2 in 2003. Since then, the creator’s work has become known for dark subject matter and atmosphere, as well as complex narratives. During a recent livestream, Taro and Nier<\/em><\/a> series producer Yosuke Saito announced they are currently working on two upcoming projects.<\/p>\n

The most recent title Taro and Saito released was Nier: Automata<\/em>, a sequel to the 2010 Drakengard<\/em> spin-off. Unlike the original Nier<\/em>, Automata<\/em> was developed by Bayonetta<\/em> and Vanquish<\/em>\u00a0studio Platinum Games<\/a>, its first ever collaboration with Square Enix. Nier: Automata<\/em> went on to become the most successful game in the entire series, selling over\u00a0five\u00a0million copies since its release in March 2017. Taro is currently supervising development of\u00a0Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139…<\/em>, a remaster of the original Nier<\/em>‘s Replicant<\/em> version, which never released outside of Japan.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the “Games Industry Chit-Chat 2020 Year End Party,” Saito revealed that he and Taro are hard at work on two new projects following the success of Nier: Automata<\/em>. Saito revealed one of the projects was a game that Taro approached him to make over a year ago, however Saito rejected the proposal as he did not believe he would ever want to make the game. Taro was stubborn, however<\/a>, and after giving Saito an hour-long pitch for the game, Saito agreed to the project. One year later, Saito claims he still does not believe in the project, and claims he would abandon it if he could.<\/p>\n
