NieR:Automata Ver1.1a TV Anime New Trailer Features the Rogue Android A2

A group of "Stubbies" - boxy, cylindrical Machine Life Forms that look like wind up toys with glowing yellow eyes - congregate at the Abandoned Factory in a scene from the upcoming NieR:Automata Ver1.1a TV anime.

 

A new key visual and preview video focusing on the rogue YoRHa android A2 were both published today for NieR:Automata Ver1.1a, the upcoming TV anime based on the smash-hit action RPG video game directed by Yoko Taro, developed by PlatinumGames, and published by Square Enix.

 

Voice actor Ayaka Suwa, who voices A2 in the Japanese version of the NieR:Automata video game, reprises her role for the TV series.

Square Enix describes the story of the original NieR:Automata video game as follows:

 

The distant future…

 

Invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing a new type of threat: weapons known as “machine lifeforms.” In the face of this insurmountable threat, mankind is driven from Earth and takes refuge on the Moon.

 

The Council of Humanity organizes a resistance of android soldiers in an effort to take back their planet. To break the deadlock, the Resistance deploys a new unit of android infantry: YoRHa .

 

In the forsaken wasteland below, the war between the machines and the androids rages on. A war that is soon to unveil the long-forgotten truth of this world…
