MAJOR SPOILERS for both NieR Replicant Ver.1.22474487139 and NieR: Automata ahead. You have been warned!
When NieR Replicant Ver.1.22474487139... was announced last year, I don't think anyone could have foreseen that this rerelease of a decade-old cult classic would receive something as substantial as a whole new playable ending—especially not one as good as this. Let's take a look at how, through tying the events of the new Ending E so closely to the game's sequel, Automata, series creator Yoko Taro forces us to re-examine features and mechanics of this universe we previously thought to be true. In doing so, he creates what feels like the thematic conclusion of the entire series.
Thank you to Square Enix PR for providing early review code!
