I’d say that’s an astounding feat for a series that is considered niche. As for what’s next, there is more Nier on the way in the form of a mobile game, which recently opened up pre-registration. NieR Re[in]carnation was penned by Yoko Taro and stars Girl of Light with her ghost avatar, Mama, the game focuses on a world where you’ll explore cages, which are the game’s dungeons. It is also set after Automata and features gacha mechanics in addition to turn-based combat.
