The popular video game NieR: Automata is getting an anime adaptation. The news was recently announced about the super popular game that is going to meet their fans in a slightly different way. It is better to call the report a rumor or leak as we have a lot to learn about this matter. The popular game that launched in 2017 came to a head after a rumor about the game being turned into an anime series surfaced on the internet. This could get really exciting when we get to hear the release date soon. Let’s see if we get the anime or not first.
Nier: Automata is an action role-playing game developed by Platinum Games and published by Square Enix in 2017. The game was directed by Toko Taro and produced by Eijiro Nishimura and Yosuke Saito. The design for the game was provided by Takahisa Taura and Isao Negishi. Nier: Automata has been released for the Play Station 4, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox One platforms. After the release of a PC version, the game surpassed sales in July 2021, reaching a milestone of 6 million copies sold worldwide.
Storyline
The game is a role-playing game, which is why all the steps taken by the player bring them to a brand new and different ending every time. The game NieR: Automata starts right after the end of the previous NieR, the ending of which was very unclear. Automata is a set from Earth that has been invaded by aliens, and humans are forced to take on the role of refugees on the moon. To take the Earth from aliens, a machine android called YoRHa was created. These newly evolved elite androids are tasked with aiding the resistance forces on Earth. The created protagonist or the player of the game stays in the middle of the whole game and performs all the tasks to liberate the earth.
NieR: Automata Anime announced
On February 4, 2022, a Twitter account called @Sapnku_u tweeted a statement that “NieR: Automata will receive an anime adaptation!”. The viral Tweet got 28,000 likes and more than 4,000 retweets, reaching a lot of audiences and fans to surf the web to gather more news about it. The page appeared to join Twitter in March 2020 and is always sharing the news about upcoming anime series. Since then, it has shared many news and announcements about the new anime projects and has become a reliable source for fans. However, this time things turned out to be highly questionable as the rumor came out without any prior source. It was noted that it had been a day and the official creators have said nothing about it.
At the time the post went public, no production company or associated authorities had said anything about the anime adaptation of the game. This makes it very difficult to believe the leak or a rumor, to be exact. So we can conclude that as long as there are no words from the official sources of the video game NieR: Automata, we cannot confirm this. As of now, there is no anime adaptation for the game, and you can all put your excitement to rest.
Fan reactions to the rumor
Since none of the page’s followers were able to get their hands on the official sources of the announcements, they are now at ease. The rumor, however, was new and fresh. Fans of the video game reacted very mixed. Some of them asked if it is true or not, some got a very happy response and some didn’t seem very happy about this. Many of the fans have wondered how on earth this is possible, as they say it will be very difficult to replicate the level of immersion of the game. Others said that the plot of the games is designed strictly for a video game and not an anime.
However, the positive comments came from the fact that the game has always been portrayed on a low budget scale, so anime adaptation is possible. No matter how many comments and predictions come out on the tweet, this leak about the anime adaptation of NieR: Automata stands as a “rumor”.
