Nier Automata Anime Is Officially Confirmed With First Teaser
Rumors pointing to a Nier Automata anime have been confirmed in the most resounding way possible, after a new take on the franchise was announced during the game's recent fifth anniversary livestream with a short teaser trailer.
Despite barely giving away any information, the 30-second footage reveals that the Nier Automata anime will be an Aniplex production, the same studio behind other massive franchises such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Sword Art Online, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, as well as the Fate/Grand Order series of games, although no specific animation studio was linked to the project. This news comes off the back of recent statements from Nier creator Yoko Taro, saying the games are mostly done unless he’s offered the right monetary incentives.

However, it does feature some nice 2B and Pod 042 artwork that should be the basis for whatever style and vision are chosen for the finished product. The cryptic nature of the teaser, posted both on Aniplex’s English account and the official Nier Automata anime one, is very much on-brand for a Nier franchise that often takes full advantage of interactive storytelling.
The description posted on YouTube details a very familiar setting for anyone who’s played Nier Automata. The description reads, «The stage is a far future where humanity is defeated by the moon in front of the overwhelming force of 'mechanical life forms'....” If this sounds all too familiar, it’s because it is, though there is no clear indication of how much of a direct adaptation of the game’s plot this will be.
