Compared to all of Yoko Taro's other games, NieR: Automata has been by far the most popular and beloved entry out of the sci-fi fantasy series, with fans clamoring for the reveal of its official continuation. While we have finally gotten confirmation that NieR: Automata will be returning at some point in the hopefully not too distant future, many fans might be entirely unaware that the game already has an official sequel.
Although NieR: Automata's sequel failed to reach nearly the same peaks as its predecessor, it was still loved by many fans for adding more depth to the lore of the series and even touching on some unfinished plotlines from the series. Unfortunately, Square Enix shut down the project in 2024, leaving fans unable to experience its story for years until now, thanks to users like Altret_KnW on X.
While the live-service gacha gameplay wasn't for everyone, NieR Reincarnation still had some excellent writing and storylines that made it a cult classic for many NieR fans, which has thankfully been partially revived by fans through the use of private servers, as noted by X user Altret_KnW.
Although NieR Reincarnation didn't directly follow the same characters...
