NieR Replicant will be getting a so-called “upgrade” in NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… (yes, that is indeed its full title). Via Famitsu and Games Talk, the following details were revealed, as shared by Twitter user MysticDistance:

• Producer Yosuke Saito: “The game is not just a remake or remaster, but an upgraded version, hence the title.”
• New elements have been added to the game
• Fully voiced
• Teaser trailer featured concept art

• There may be new endings, but Yosuke Saito says he “doesn’t know”
• New songs and old ones re-recorded by Keiichi Okabe
• Grimoire Weiss voiced by Hiroyuki Yasumoto
• ToyLogic is developing the game, but Platinum Games’ Takahisa Taura  will also be involved
• Release date is not confirmed, but hoped to be during the 10th anniversary of the franchise
• An entirely new character will be added, so that “older players can also enjoy the game”
• 2B’s Yui Ishikawa and 9S’ Hanae Natsuki will have small roles in the updated game
  • Note: This does not mean 2B and 9S will necessarily be appearing in the game

Gematsu also has the current list of other Japanese VAs who will be in the game:

• Protagonist (Boy): Nobuhiko Okamoto

• Yonah: Ai Nonaka
