Yoko Taro, locked away in an underground facility, is urging NieR:Automata fans to flee while they still can. In other words, Yoko Taro has released a message celebrating the release of NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition. Aside from a bit in regards to an A.I. system that has done something to the “cruel and diabolical” management team, both Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito express their appreciation for the fans’ support.

Yosuke Saito is the series producer for NieR:Automata, while Yoko Taro is the creative director. In Saito’s message, he hints at future games from Yoko Taro. However, it is unclear if he is playing along with Yoko Taro’s joke. Though it is not part of the NieR or Drakengard franchises, Square Enix recently released Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden, which is the newest game from Yoko Taro.
Along with these Twitter messages, Nintendo has uploaded a new trailer for NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition. The Nintendo Switch port will have exclusive outfits, as well as all of the DLC content from the original releases. The trailer features very few spoilers from the story and has included reviews for the game.
NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition is available now on the Nintendo Switch. Other editions of the game are also available for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
