The trailer showcases brief glimpses of Pascal in NieR Automata Ver. 1.1a and features a line promoting mutual understanding between the Machine Lifeforms and the YoRHa androids. Pascal’s voice actor is also confirmed to be Aoi Yuuki. Aoi Yuuki also played characters like Hibiki Tachibana in the Symphogear series, Tsuyu Asui in My Hero Academia, Tatsumaki in One Punch Man, Okita in Fate/Grand Order, and Futaba in Persona 5.

A-1 Pictures also shared a new key visual poster featuring Pascal in a field of flowers.

Lastly, the official anime website also features a game “created by Pascal.” A news update on the site stated that “Uncle Pascal made a game” and invited folks to try it out. The game, which is available at this link, is titled Go! Machine Lifeform. It’s a simple, vertical-scrolling browser title, in which players must pilot a machine lifeform around various obstacles.

In the NieR Automata game, Pascal was leader of a village of Machine Lifeforms. Unlike the Machines throughout most of the game world, the village was filled with Machines that had disconnected from the Machine network and embraced nonviolence. Committed to seeking peace between the Machines and Androids, Pascal had educated his adopted “children”, teaching them things like philosophy and history. He has interactions with all the principal characters in the game as well, including 2B, 9S, and A2.

NieR Automata Ver. 1.1a begins broadcasting in January 2023. Check out previews teasing 2B and 9S, and the YoRHa Commander. The game is available on PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox One.
