Square Enix announced at Gamescom 2016 on Wednesday that it will release NieR: Automata for the PC via Steam.
The now-defunct Japanese game developer Cavia (Drakengard, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles) developed the original NieR game as a spinoff of the Drakengard series in 2010.
Yosuke Saito (Dragon Quest X, NieR) is credited as producer, and Keiichi Okabe (Drakengard series, NieR, Yuki Yuna Is a Hero) is composing the music.
The game is a follow-up to the 2010 NieR game, and reunites the director, producer, and composer.
