We haven’t heard much about Square Enix’s new Nier title since its announcement at E3, but Paris Games Week brings a nice surprise. A new trailer features Platinum’s high-flying gameplay and new details about the game.

Nier: Automata stars an infantry android named 2B, who fights with both sword and gunfire from her “pod.” The story centers around an otherworldly invasion, as the attackers deploy machines of war around the world.

2B is part of the squad designed to fight the invaders, leading to machine-on-machine conflict. You can check out the gameplay trailer above and our coverage from E3 2015 here.
