NieR Replicant to get an updated release on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam



Today, Square Enix hosted a 10th anniversary livestream for the NieR series, announcing a new project. NieR Replicant will be getting a new release on current generation hardware. Rather than call it a remake or remaster, Square Enix is referring to this port as NieR Replicant ver. 1..22474487139, an "updated version" with new voice recordings and remastered music. The game has also been confirmed for a western release, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam.

This is great news!
...although, as much as I love the Drakengard/Nier franchise (I own physical releases for all of them except Drakengard 2), I've never managed to complete any of them... Nier being a double annoyance as I own the X360 release, but got further with the fan translation of the Japanese Nier Replicant on PS3 just because I prefer that protagonist... wonder if this rerelease/remaster(?) will have both protagonists?

I mean, if not, it could be modded to be the grandpa more easily on PC than on console, that's for sure...

I think Gestalt would be cooler because that Young Nier kinda Sucks, but the game is basically the same so im still happy about it :-D

To be fair they're the exact same person and can'r really be viewed as another character. One is just made a bit older but they still have the same hair etc that is typical for the drakengard universe and also directly ties into automata.

No, they actually have different backgrounds in a certain way.
Replicant's protagonist had to so some pretty dark stuff to support his sister.

I know but the story of the game either one you choose is exactly the same and has the exact same special ending that connects to automata.
