Why exactly the PC version is coming later is unknown, but at least PC gamers now know for sure when they, too, can join in on the robot-smashing fun of NieR: Automata. The game went gold about a month ago already and has been available in Japan since February 23. Apparently, according to the developers, NieR: Automata would have been out last year already, but due to unforeseen circumstances was delayed until this month.
The story of NieR: Automata follows Android 2B as she runs around the open world of the game destroying robotic opponents, all the while wearing a faintly too short skirt. When the game was first announced, the developers promised they would improve on its predecessor NieR’s lackluster combat and many who have had a chance to play around with the demo for NieR: Automata feel that has been achieved. The action is rather fast-paced and features impressive combos and challenging enemies.
The character system in NieR: Automata has also been well thought-out, with players having the ability to easily pick up where they left off after losing a particular battle and are even able to take their characters online and continue the fight there. Besides pulse-racing combat, the game will also allow players to explore the secrets of its open world and work their way through a twisting story. All in all, PC gamers are likely overjoyed to have this versatile title available to them.
NieR: Automata releases in North America and Europe on March 7 and March 10 respectively for PS4. The PC version of the game will release on March 17.
