Last week, it's been confirmed that NieR Automata, the second entry in the series developed by Square Enix in collaboration with Platinum Games, will receive its first DLC pack next week in Japan. Today, the Japanese publisher confirmed when North American and European players will be able to get their hands on the game's additional content.
The NieR Automata 3C3C1D119440927 DLC will release on both PlayStation 4 and PC on May 2nd, the same day the DLC hits the game's Japanese version. Among the new content will be new costumes, new boss battles and more.
Costumes from the previous Japanese release, NieR: Replicant, for androids 2B, 9S and A2
- “Revealing Outfit” (in the style of Kaine) for 2B
- “Young Man’s Outfit” (in the style of young Nier) for 9S
- “Destroyer Outfit” (in the style of young adult Nier) for A2
Records that add special music tracks to the players’ jukebox
New equipment and cosmetic accessories such as hairspray that allows you to change the color of 2B and A2’s hair
Masks with unique “on equip” effects
Special bullets that change the appearance of enemy bullets
In his review of the game, Kai praised NieR Automata as one of the best action role-playing games of the year.
You’ll laugh; you’ll cry; you might even contemplate whether androids are capable of feeling emotion at all or if they’re merely going by what they were programmed to do. NieR: Automata rewards long-time fans of Yoko Taro’s works with an experience that transcends any single genre. Although it might not be a perfect game, the sum of NieR: Automata’s unique storytelling meshed with Platinum Games’ style of action meld together into a title well deserving of being one of my personal Games of the Year, not for the story being told but rather HOW 2B’s story was told.
NieR Automata is now out on PC and PlayStation 4.
