That upcoming NieR game is called NieR Automata in Japan

Guessing that’s referring to Automatons

Hey everyone, good news. We can finally stop calling the next NieR game placeholder titles like NieR 2 or The New Nier Project

According to an interview with Japanese site GamesTalk, the upcoming NieR game we saw teased at E3 is going to be called NeiR Automata in Japan. While the name will likely be different in English, it seems that much like the original game, NieR Automata is a reference to robots and mechanical creatures.

Personally, I think NieR Automata, while not super easily marketed in English, is a pretty damn cool name for a game. What do you all think?
