Nier Replicant is Square Enix's remake-remaster hybrid of the original Nier title that launched in 2010. This beloved RPG is set in a distant future and tells the story of a young man looking to save his sister Yonah from the Black Scrawl disease and serves as a prequel to the critically-acclaimed Nier: Automata. Replicant improves on the original with enhanced visuals, full voice-overs, and a more fluid combat experience, but it also adds brand-new content.
Japanese players received two versions of the original Nier that offered a slightly different version of the protagonist in each one — an older man who is the father of Yonah for Nier Gestalt, and a younger man who is the brother to Yonah in Nier Replicant. However, in the west, we only ever received the Gestalt version with the fan-named Papa Nier character. But now, Replicant offers western players a chance to finally play as brother Nier.
