Set in the far future, NieR: Automata takes place after the fall of humanity at a time when Androids are at war with the machines. Over the course of the game, players will follow the story of the Androids through the eyes of 2B, 9S, and A2. As they do so, they can customize their appearances by changing outfits, using hair dyes, and even changing the skins of their Pod companions.
Outfits and accessories are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on stats, giving players the freedom to dress up the characters to their own tastes. Although some items were previously restricted to DLC or pre-order bonuses, they have been added to subsequent releases of NieR: Automata. There will be exclusive content, including outfits, for the newly announced Nintendo Switch version, The End of YoRHa Edition, which is set to release later this year.
