Nier: Automata is getting ready for its first dive into the world of anime coming next year, and the series is showing off a new look at what to expect next with new trailers and posters showing off more of the new characters coming our way! The Square Enix video game franchise has exploded in popularity thanks to the release of Nier: Automata some time ago, and fans have become so interested in the world around it that the thought of a new anime adaptation taking it on is quite the big deal already. Not only that, but it will be bringing back some major faces.

Nier: Automata Ver1.1a is scheduled to release next January as part of the Winter 2023 anime schedule, and fans have been able to see how many of the games' returning characters have made the jump to the full anime adaptation. The newest set of posters and trailers have shown off more of the cast with a new trailer for the returning Adam and Eve voiced by Daisuke Namikawa and Tatsuhisa Suzuki respectively. You can check out the trailer in the video above, and poster below.

Square Enix teases the original Nier: Automata game as such, "NieR:Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines. Humanity has been driven from the Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a final effort to take back the planet, the human resistance sends a force of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now, a war between machines and androids rages on... A war that could soon unveil a long-forgotten truth of the world."
