Following a first season hit with production issues, the second season of NieR: Automata Ver 1.1a – the animé adaptation of Yoko Taro's beloved game – finally has a release date.
The first season of the NieR: Automata animé arrived in January of 2023. However, the show was soon hit with serious production issues. The show's fourth episode was delayed by nearly a whole month due to COVID-related reasons.
Then, more COVID-related issues forced episodes 9 to 12 of the Nier: Automata animé to be further delayed from March, all the way to July.
With all that behind the team, the hope now is that the second season of the NieR: Automata animé has a much smoother ride once it drops in July of 2024.
The second season of NieR: Automata Ver 1.1a will feature a new opening theme, Black Box by LiSA, whose previous works include the opening for the Demon Slayer animé. (Read: 5 Top anime adaptations of video games)
The show itself should continue from where the first season finished – basically at the game's first ending. Whether the show will follow the game's structure and recap the events of the first season, but through 9S's point of view or just go straight ahead to the game's third playthrough/ending, however, is unknown.
As for a new NieR game. Series producer Yosuke Saito has teased that he was "working on something that "might be NieR, it might not be Nier," alongside series creator Yoko Taro and composer Keiichi Okabe.
