Square Enix's Nier Release Date Announced
Square Enix has announced that their latest action RPG, Nier, will have a worldwide release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on April 23.
"Nier fuses fast-paced action with a mature and mysterious narrative," said Larry Sparks, marketing VP. "The game sees a new direction for Square Enix and one that will appeal to action, adventure and RPG fans. We look forward to its release across PAL territories."
Much of Nier's narrative is still a mystery, however we do know that a deadly disease eliminates a major portion of the world's population causing doctors to release an experimental cure that makes matters worse. The Black Scrawl virus is developed from this "cure" bringing humanity to the brink of extinction. The titular protagonist seeks to find a cure to protect his family and on the way engages in bloody battles giving this violent, mature title a darker tone.
