The updated version of the game will not only become more accessible for modern audiences with fully remastered visuals, a re-recorded soundtrack, and all-new voice dialogue, but will also include brand-new story content, extra dungeons, and costumes, including multiple NieR:Automata themed costumes & weapons, the NieR:Automata playable soundtrack, and more.
Further details on the extra content that will be included for the game at launch is below:
- Extra Episode – Players can enjoy a new scenario and exhilarating boss battle by playing through the game, in an all-new “Mermaid” episode featuring a wrecked ship and a little girl.
