Nier Automata Sequel seems to be a mobile game (Nier Reincarnation followup)

Earlier this week, Nier Automata director Yoko Taro had been at a concert for the game in London over the past weekend. During the concert, Taro told those in attendance to cheer if they wanted a third Nier game, to let Square Enix's president, who was also in attendance, know how they felt.

Understandably, a barrage of cheers erupted during the concert, so if Square Enix's president didn't know how Nier fans felt about a third game before, he sure does now. Elsewhere in the concert, the word "R3pent" flashed up repeatedly on the screen behind the orchestra, leading attendees to believe this was a teaser for a third Nier game.

Now, Taro has followed up the buzz with a little teaser of his own. Just below, you can see the Nier series creative lead tweeting "r3incarnation." If you turn the '3' into an 'e,' you're left with "reincarnation," which was the subtitle of Nier's mobile-exclusive game which launched just over two years ago, and is coincidentally being shut down for good next month in March.



Given the '3' in the tweet just above, this could be Taro indicating that Nier fans should consider the mobile game as the third entry in the series. While Reincarnation doesn't feature existing Neir characters like Kaine, 2B, A2, or 9S, it's true that it's always been considered 'canonical' in the Nier series by fans, especially because Taro and composer Keiichi Okabe worked on the game with developer Applibot.

Please don't play yourself out like this Yoko Taro, following up the masterpiece that was Automata with mobile garbage is sacrilegious, hopefully it isn't true.

This guy is washed up. He said he has alcohol issues and with all these mobile games it shows.

LOL I did say this tease would be a troll. But I have no doubt we'll hear something this year about a 3rd entry.

He is an alcoholic since drakengard days.
Apparently his way of writing is getting black out drunk and write, and rearranging it a bit the morning after.

You cannot sustain this type of work ethic with age unfortunately...

ANyway fuck you taro just say you don't know where the story you beautifully wrote to its conclusion can go without spoiling it all. Everyone would understand.
