PlatinumGames and Square Enix are marking Nier: Automata's continued success: the 2017 action RPG has now sold 10 million copies worldwide. A short celebratory video was shared to commemorate the milestone and finishes with a cryptic closing image that has reignited speculation about future projects in the Nier universe.

  • Milestone reached — Nier: Automata has crossed the 10 million unit mark since its initial 2017 release, according to the developer and publisher announcement.
  • Cryptic finale — the anniversary video concludes with an enigmatic frame, leaving the community to debate whether it hints at a direct sequel, live events, more merchandise, or additional spin-offs.
  • Franchise momentum — post-launch fan interest, multiple endings, and ancillary releases (including the remade prequel and a mobile title) have helped sustain and grow the series' profile over the years.
  • Community reaction — players and theorists are already parsing the clip for clues, with social channels filling up with guesses ranging from concert tours to new game announcements.

Whether PlatinumGames is quietly teasing a major new entry or simply celebrating the franchise's longevity, the short video has ensured fans will be watching closely for the studio's next move. Source: Game Informer
