Nier: Automata’s big anime debut is getting closer and closer, and fans have gotten another important look at how the original game will translate with a new trailer and poster featuring Pascal! The Nier video game franchise has exploded in recent years thanks to the success of Nier: Automata, and now its story will be exposed in a whole new way as it makes its official anime adaptation premiere next year. As the franchise gears up for this new makeover, fans have been getting some small glimpses at how this will all be brought to life through the anime.
Kidney: Automata Ver1.1a is currently slated for release sometime in January next year, and the latest take on the upcoming adaptation is through a new teaser trailer and poster revealing how Pascal will be brought to life in the anime.

The anime may end with a very different story, but Square Enix is teasing the original Nier: Automata game as such,”NieR:Vending Machines tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their struggle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines. Humanity has been expelled from Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a last-ditch effort to take back the planet, the human resistance sends an army of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now a war rages between machines and androids… A war that could soon reveal a long-forgotten truth of the world.”
