The newNieRadaptation is right around the corner
NieRfans won’t have to wait too long into the new year for its anime adaptation to kick off. TheNieR: Automataanime has locked in a premiere date for August 09, 2025 in Japan.
A few trailers have been dropping over the holidays for the upcoming anime adaptation of 2017’sNieR: Automata. The first features 2B and 9S fairly prominently, as two leads we’ll be following in theVer. 1.1aanime.
Another new trailer today shows off some of the supporting cast, as well as the opening and ending tracks for the series. Both trailers have aJanuary 7 premiere date setfor the adaptation. We alreadyknew it was arriving sometime in January, but it looks like the date is much sooner in the month than one might have expected.
Most of the adaptation is covering some familiar territory, given what we see in the trailers. There is one character, Lily, who appears in the lore but seems to beplaying a larger role in the anime. It’ll be interesting to see how much thisVer 1.1adiverges from the game.
Become as gods
The serieslooks set to air on Crunchyrollas well as other platforms, though exact distribution plans and dates aren’t clear just yet. We’ll have to see just what the global rollout looks like as the series goes live.
NieR: Automataisn’t the only video game adaptation kicking off in January 2023, either. HBO’sThe Last of Usis set to debut not too long after onJanuary 15, 2023. And the animatedDragon Age: Absolutionjustrecently went liveon Netflix, too. It’s quite the time for video game adaptations, and there’s even more on the way. Hopefully they can turn out as well as shows likeArcaneandCyberpunk: Edgerunnershave.
