The original NieR:Automata game came out on the PlayStation 4 in Japan on February 23, 2017, with North America following on March 7 and PAL regions on March 10. It was eventually released on PC on March 17, 2017, and then the Xbox One on June 26, 2018, selling more than 5.5 million copies over all the versions. It was directed by the moon on the earth Yoko Taro and follows 2B and 9S as they battle a mechanical invasion alongside the Resistance.
No more details, including start date, staff, or anything else, on the anime have been announced as of now.
