It’s important to note that NieR Replicant was released in 2010 only in Japan and only on PS3. The cast of English dubbing has not yet been officially announced, but thanks to a fresh clip, we can talk about the return of Laura Bailey and Liam O’Brien, who played Kaine and Grimoire Weiss in the original Nier Replicant, respectively.
This is just a second introduction to the gameplay of NieR Replicant ver. 1.22474487139 … after showing the trailer at The Game Awards 2020 in November, as well as the first clips with English voice acting.
Let’s remind: the main character of Nier Replicant is a kind-hearted young man from a remote village. His sister Yona was struck by a fatal illness called “black letters,” and for her sake, he, along with a bizarre talking book White Grimoire, sets off searching for “sealed verses.” Key members of the original team participated in the development of the improved version. According to the plot, in the distant future, humanity was on the verge of extinction. Nightmarish monsters and deadly diseases threaten the world. The adventure reveals the NieR universe’s truth – players will understand that nothing can be taken for granted. The combat system provides for fencing and powerful spells – thanks to the power of Words, you can endow the hero with new episodes, skills, and weapons.
NieR Replicant will launch on April 23rd on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and S.
