NieR: Automata, one of the best games of 2017, is getting an anime adaptation. The project was initially announced in February, but now there’s a release date and a lengthy teaser for the upcoming adaptation. Series creator Yoko Taro seems keen to deliver a new way for people to experience the game’s philosophical story but has also teased that returning fans will have something to look forward to. In a time with so many video game adaptations, NieR is the perfect property to take advantage of a recent trend in adaptations to expand a game’s world beyond the main story.
