NieR Automata Celebrates First Birthday By Slashing Its Price in Half

NieR Automata Is Now 50% Off on PS4 and Steam!

NieR Automata โ€” PlatinumGamesโ€™ wickedly awesome post-apocalyptic action-RPG โ€” is celebrating its first birthday in a big way. Instead of us telling you all about it, weโ€™ll let Game Director Yoko Taro tell you in a perfectly normal way.

Okay, then.

So yeah, March 7th marked NieR Automataโ€™s first anniversary and it sounds like Square Enix is planning a fan event really soon. But more importantly, the gameโ€™s price is currently discounted by 50% on both PS4 and Steam. Now is the perfect time to jump in and find out why so many people loved 2Bโ€™s action-packed adventure. The sale will end on March 14th on Steam and March 20th on the PlayStation Network.

NieR Automata has shipped over 2 million units across PS4 and Steam since its launch last year. It earned very high praise from a number of media outlets (including us) and received lots of awards during award season. Itโ€™s also been recognized for its storyline which requires multiple playthroughs โ€” which is slightly different each time โ€” to fully grasp its narrative.

It comes highly recommended by COGconnected. Hereโ€™s a slice of what we said in our launch review a year ago:

โ€œEven if you havenโ€™t touched Darkengard or NieR in the past, I canโ€™t recommend NieR: Automata enough. Itโ€™s such an interesting meld of open RPG, twitch action, platformer, bullet hell shooter that shouldnโ€™t be ignored by anyone. In the slew of amazing games this spring release season, itโ€™s easy to forget about this gem because itโ€™s a sequel. Donโ€™t let that happen to you.โ€
