An action RPG developed by Square Enix and PlatinumGames, directed by the visionary Yoko Taro. Set in the year 11945 AD, it follows android soldiers 2B, 9S, and A2 as they fight alien machine weapons on an Earth abandoned by humanity. What sets NieR: Automata apart is its philosophical narrative that uses multiple playthroughs and perspective shifts to explore existentialism, consciousness, and the meaning of life—all while delivering exhilarating PlatinumGames combat. Keiichi Okabe's hauntingly beautiful multilingual soundtrack is considered one of gaming's greatest. With over 8 million copies sold, the game became a global phenomenon that proved narrative ambition and commercial success can coexist in the action RPG genre.
