Series creator, Yoko Taro, has announced a Game of the Year Edition for the critically-acclaimed, Nier: Automata. Taro took to Twitter to make an official announcement regarding the game but gave fans something unique instead.
“Square Enix has asked me for a comment to mark the announcement of the NieR:Atomata Game of the YoRHA Edition.
Now that you mention it, NieR:Automata was first released on the 23rd of February 2017 in Japan, 7th of March 2017 in America and on the 10th of March 2017 in Europe.
I have noticed something bizarre and fascinating about these numbers:
If you write these dates out in long-form as 20170223, 20170307 and 20170310, then add all three numbers together, you get 60510840.
If you take that total, split the digits in two down the middle, making 6051 and 0840, and then subtract the second number from the first… unbelievably you get 5211!!
That’s right, a number completely devoid of all meaning!
Just like life rally, isnt it? Over and out.”
Nier: Automata Game of the YoRHa Edition is available for PlayStation 4 and PC on February 26, 2019. This includes a set of PlayStation Avatars and a Dynamic Theme alongside the game’s DLC and expansions. Steam users can look forward to two wallpapers and an in-game Valve accessory. Currently, there is no word on an Xbox One version.
Nier: Automata is currently available to own on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Fans can also play as the titular character, 2B, in a later add-on for SoulCalibur VI.
