NieR: Automata plays around with a lot of weird things in its many facets, but one thing it won't be messing with is its release date. Yes, despite its quirkiness, developer Platinum Games has held up their end of the bargain and will release the game on time on March 7th, 2017. Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito revealed the new through Twitter, noting that the game had actually been complete for some time now.
Here's the Tweet:
最近の流行りらしいから書けと言われたので書きますが、「ニーア オートマタはマスターアップしました!(随分前に)」というわけで、発売まで諸々よろしくお願い申し上げます。 #NieR pic.twitter.com/BPOyNipM08
