It costs 2,750 JPY (roughly $20 USD), and it will release on April 26, 2023 in Japan.

Formally titled NieR: Automata Ver1.1a, the anime adaptation of the Square Enix and PlatinumGames 2017 title started airing on January 7, 2023. The show experienced a brief hiatus in production due to the ongoing COVID pandemic that lasted from approximately a month. Aniplex announced the return of the anime, with its fourth episode returning on February 18, 2023. It’s since been airing as usual, as well as streaming on Crunchyroll worldwide.
