One of the PlayStation 4’s best role-playing games of all time got some huge news today, with Square Enix revealing that a Game of the Year-winning RPG would be back.

What RPG will be returning with a PS5 sequel?

During a video celebrating the fact that it has officially hit 10 million worldwide sales, Square Enix announced that the world of Nier Automata would be continuing. The announcement briefly appeared at the end of Square Enix’s video, which marked a huge milestone for Nier Automata. Yoko Taro’s game took PlayStation Lifestyle’s top Game of the Year spot in 2017.

Fans were quick to theorize that a sequel to the hit game could be in the works. However, it’s currently unclear exactly what Square Enix means. Automata originally released almost 10 years ago, and followed the story of combat android 2B, scanner android 9S, and rogue prototype A2. The game was praised for its combination of a litany of styles, including RPG elements, hack-and-slash combat, shoot ’em up and text adventure sections, and more.

Despite the lack of confirmation, fans were quick to begin speculating what exactly the message of a continued story could mean. Geoff Keighley didn’t help matters, as he cryptically also shared the still from the end of the video on his X account. As for any reports on the matter, there were rumors that many of Nier: Automata’s developers were working on something, but it’s unclear exactly what that is, or when we’ll see it.

However, as part of the festivities, publisher Square Enix has revealed two exciting things. Firstly, that the game has surpassed ten million copies sold. Secondly, and most importantly, that Nier Automata will "be continued" in some shape or form.

Square Enix has announced that digital sales and shipments for NieR: Automata have surpassed 10 million units globally.

In addition to that, a celebratory video contains a teaser stating “Nier Automata to be continued,” so hopefully that means we’ll hear more about the franchise soon enough.

Nier: Automata was developed by PlatinumGames and released for PS4 and PC 2017, and was later ported to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in June 2018 and October 2022, respectively. The game takes place during a proxy war between alien-manufactured machines and human-crafted androids, which focuses on the exploits of 2B, a combat android, and scanner android 9S and rogue prototype A2. Nier: Automata marries RPG elements with hack-and-slash combat, and requires players to play through the main game multiple times in order to unlock new narrative threads.

But I am begging you… stop putting her in things. I'm sick to death of seeing her everywhere, her blindfolded eyes somehow still staring directly into my soul, begging me to spend money on endless gacha rolls, but this time in Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis, the next game she's set to appear in.
