Square Enix announced that their PlatinumGames-developed action RPG, NieR: Automata, has reached a new milestone of 4 million in worldwide shipments and digital sales since its February 2017 launch.

Following the NieR: Automata spinoff story and prequel in the YoRHa Stage Play Ver. 1.0, an updated version in 1.1, and an all-girls musical in Ver. 1.2, we’re getting an all-male cast for Ver 1.3. Here’s its first poster.

Yoko Taro has made the shocking announcement that he’s retiring from the virtual Youtuber industry just after his debut appearance on Gems Company’s recent livestream.

Last week in Japan, it was Devil May Cry 5 week with the release of the anticipated action game by Capcom. Otherwise it was a pretty quiet week with the only other new entry being Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn.

As was foretold by the prophecies, Yoko Taro descended upon today’s Gems Company Virtual Cast VRadio show as a virtual Youtuber to lay judgement upon all.

Last week in Japan, we saw a number of notable releases with Dead or Alive 6, Left Alive, Zoids Wild: King of Blast, and Darius Cozmic Collection.

NieR: Automata creator Yoko Taro and Undertale maker Toby Fox are both developers who won the hearts of fans across the West and East, and they recently sat together for a pleasant chat in this week’s Famitsu.

Last week in Japan, there were several key releases with the online multiplayer action RPG Anthem, NieR: Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition, Girls und Panzer: Dream Tank Match DX, and Ace Attorney Trilogy.

During the latest NieR: Automata livestream for the game’s second anniversary, Producer Yosuke Saito surprised the crowd by revealing that Yoko Taro is set to become a VTuber in March.

Square Enix is currently streaming Nier: Automata’s 2nd Anniversary Broadcast, and to commemorate the occasion they released a set of LINE stickers featuring 2B drawn by main character designer Akihiko Yoshida.

If you can guess what games are being mentioned in the title, that’s probably because they’ve all been released before.
