The extremely popular 2B from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nier: Automata has starred in plenty of game crossovers, including but not limited to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 14, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Soul Calibur 6, and even Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

It doesn't end there for 2B, as she is set to join mobile gac🎉ha game Goddess of Victory: Nikke along wit♌h A2 and Pascal from Nier: Automata.

As a mobile gacha game, Goddess of Victory: Nikke is pretty open about its… selling points. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans have been forced to live underground afteꦚr mechanical aliens invaded the surface. To combat the aliens, humans made robot soldier girls, that also just happen to be curvaceous and scantily-clad, called Nikkes to fight above ground.

Ga🦋meplay is in third person, and Nikkes will crouch behind cover before shooting at enemies. Once they turn around, your eyes are probably not going to be drawn to the alien robots but rather the butt of the Ni🐽kke you're controlling.

In a statement announcing the collaboration, developer Shift Up describes it as "an ideal pairing", given the similar plot points between the two games. Nier: Automata is based on a similar premise so weirdly yes, the crossover makes sense lore-wise. 2B is also not immune to the types of discussions the Nikkes' character designs have prompted, with Nier creator Yoko Taro acknowledging and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:thanking fans for all their fanart, no matter the skill level or appropriateness.

If you're interested in checking it out, the Goddess of Victory: Nikke and Nier: Automata crossover event begins on September 1 and will end on September 27. This is also a good place to remind you that if you've yet to experience Nier: Automata, we 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:highly recommend you go and play it.

Looking for a new game to play? This game looks so much like Nier that even Yoko Taro is a fan.
