Ten after its launch, Square Enix’s first NieR is preparing to come out in the form of a mix between remake and remaster.
NieR Replicant or NieR Gestalt. The main differences between the two titles are the physical appearance of the main character (young or old), his relationship with Yonah (little sister or daughter) and the graphic differences on PS3 and Xbox 360. With NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 (square root of 1.5) on the latest Sony consoles and Microsoft, as well as on PC (via Steam), the famous puzzle between the Japanese and European versions will soon be just an old memory. If the late Cavia is no longer in the game, the Toylogic studio (Happy Wars, Happy Dungeons) will have to sublimate the opus that launched the author Yoko Taro on the front stage with the help of Takahisa Taura (PlatinumGames, Nier Automata) and the composer Keiichi Okabe who has already re-recorded all the music, in addition to having created new ones.
Yosuke Saito from the Japanese publisher Square Enix announces the presence of a full dubbing with a re-recording of the voices (Nobuhiko Okamoto in Nier young, Koji Yusa in Nier adult, Ai Nonaka in Yonah, Hiroki Yasumoto in Grimoire Weiss and Mai Kadowaki in Emil). A new character will also appear, knowing that it will be possible to hear Yui Ishikawa and Natsuki Hanae, the voice actors of 2B and 9S. No release date has been announced yet, but an international launch has been confirmed. Several new features will be revealed later this year.
NieR Re[in]carnation, a new game exclusively for smartphones
Developed by Applibot (specialist in mobile games) with CyDesignation for character design, NieR Re[in]carnation can also count on Yosuke Saito as producer, Yoko Taro as creative director, Keiichi Okabe for music, Akihiko Yoshida for the design of the main characters and Kazuma Koda for the concept arts.
