Some of the developers of Nier: Automata were interviewed at Gamescom 2016. The interview was done by IGN and they spoke with the game’s producer Yosuke Saito, and with Keiichi Okabe who is the game’s composer. The interview covers several things such as the soundtrack, the gameplay, and how it will still have the spirit of the first game while being developed by Platinum Games. There was also some mention of some familiar things such as characters and weapons stories returning.
Nier: Automata will be released on the PlayStation 4 and PC and is set for release sometime next year.
