Nier: Automata Anime Highlights Pascal With New Trailer and Poster

Nier: Automata's big anime debut is inching closer and closer, and fans have gotten another key look at how the original game will be translated with a new trailer and poster highlighting Pascal! The Nier video game franchise has exploded in recent years thanks to the success of Nier: Automata, and now its story will be highlighted in a whole new way as it will be making its official anime adaptation premiere next year. As the franchise gets ready for this new makeover, fans have been given some small looks at how this all will be brought to life through the anime.

Nier: Automata Ver1.1a is currently scheduled to release some time in January next year, and the newest look at the upcoming adaptation is through a new teaser trailer and poster revealing how Pascal will be brought to life in the anime. Much like the other members of the cast, Aoi Yuki will be returning from the video game to voice Pascal in the adaptation as well. With the series making its way next year, it won't be too much longer until we get to see even more of Pascal and the others. You can check out the new trailer in the video above, and new poster below:

The anime might end up with a much different story, but 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."
