A sequel to Nier: Automata might have been teased by series creator Yoko Taro at the Nier London Concert. The Nier franchise has been a bit of a breakout hit in the last couple of years, thanks to Yoko Taro's eccentric and unconventional game design and writing. Despite its recent success in other media forms, like an anime adaptation, novels, and concerts, some fans wonder if there will be a new mainline AAA game set in the same universe, or a direct follow-up to Nier: Automata.
