As part of today’s third-party-focused Nintendo Direct, Square Enix announced that Nier Automata is in development for the Switch.
Evidence of a Switch version of Nier Automata was found in a datamine of Nier Replicant last year, but apart from that, there’s been no official news of a Switch port.
Nier Automata’s release on Switch has always been something fans of the series wanted, though Square Enix always appeared to move slowly when it comes to the series.
Game director Yoko Taro was previously asked about the possibility of seeing the game on Switch, telling fans to instead ask Square Enix.
