Although Square Enix has but to formally announce a sequel to Nier Automata, work is already underway.
Producer Yosuke Saito advised Ryokutya2089 (by way of Gematsu) that the group is making preparations for “the setting”.
Saito pointed to the job ads that have been revealed in September. Surprisingly, Saito couldn’t definitively say if director Yoko Taro is concerned.
“He is… I would like to believe (laughs),” Saito stated when he was requested about Taro’s involvement.
“Yoko says he will do anything as long as he receives money for it, but there is no one who doesn’t move for money as much as that man. He only wants to do what he wants to do. So I’ll try my best to explicitly say what he doesn’t want to do to guide him towards what I want to do (laughs).”
Hopefully meaning we’ll hear about it sooner relatively than later, although it does appear to be it’s fairly early. Nier Automata bought over 2 million units throughout each PC, and PS4.
