The crew behind NieR Automata Ver1.1a has released a new short teaser, this time focusing on the commander. The clip spotlights the character and features the same distinctive voice talent as the game, voiced by Chiaki Kanou.
A poster showing the commander was also unveiled, adding to the growing visual identity of the project. The material appears alongside various promotional assets that fans have tracked with interest as the project progresses.
This depiction aligns with the look of the commander in NieR vending machines, where the character appears in the familiar arcade-style presentation that fans have come to expect from the series’ in-game and retail displays.
The project is being developed by the well-known studio A-1 Pictures, with directional leadership from Ryoji Masuyama. The creative team includes the game creator Yoko Taro, whose involvement helps preserve the distinctive NieR sensibility across different media formats. The Japanese premiere, positioned as a major milestone for the adaptation, was announced for January 2023, marking a key moment in the collaboration between game and anime studios.
Earlier installments in the teaser series reintroduced the central figures of NieR Automata, notably androids 2B and 9S. The performances for these roles are provided by Yui Ishikawa and Natsuki Hanae, actors who lent their voices to the characters in the original game, strengthening the connection between the interactive and animated versions for fans and newcomers alike.
- NieR Automata has reached a Russian-language audience with an official translation on the Nintendo Switch platform.
- A new 2B figure has been unveiled, featuring the character in a dynamic pose that emphasizes her distinctive design and accessories as seen in the series’ merchandise lineup.
- Characters from NieR Automata have appeared in cross-franchise media, expanding their presence beyond the original game and into other popular properties used for marketing and fan engagement.
