Via its social media channel, Square Enix announced that it will be hosting the NieR Re[in]carnation Official Live Stream #0 event on 2 February 2021. The livestream will air on 8:00PM JST, and viewers can tune in through either Niconico or YouTube.
Viewer questions will be answered here, while future live streams plans will be discussed. We will also be treated to a new trailer for the game. Ahead of the date, viewers are being encouraged to submit their questions and ideas through the use of the “#リィンカネ生 #コーナー hashtag. Series creative director Taro Yoko series producer Saito Yosukue and game director Matsukawa Saito will be present for the livestream, which will be conducted entirely in Japanese, of course.
Also as previously revealed, NieR Re[in]carnation will be having a North American and Europe release, though the date is up in the air now. From the closed beta, there were two parts to the game: world exploration and battle system. The White Girl will run around in a 3D rendered world to designated spots on the mini map, occasionally having character banter along the way. To progress further in the beta main story, you will need to have a completed Weapon Story. In Weapon Stories, there will be both cinematics and battle sequences, the latter of which can be done both manually or automated. Battle parties will comprise of three characters, capable of attacking, using a unique skill or their equipped weapon’s skill.
