NieR: Automata director Yoko Taro, producer Yosuke Saito, and composer Keiichi Okabe participated in a Saturday panel at PAX East in which they answered questions about the possible continuation of the series.
Responding to a social media question about whether the staff are planning to continue the NieR: Automata series, Saito commented that the NieR series, but “not really” NieR: Automata, has “about 50%” chance of continuing.
NieR: Automata is a follow-up to the 2010 NieR game, and reunited the director, producer, and composer.
Freelance developer Yoko Taro (Drakengard series, NieR) helmed the project as director at Platinum Games.
