'Nier: Automata' Release Date News: PC Version to Release Later This Month; Director Teases Scenario Is 'All Poop'

After its launch in Japan last month, the highly anticipated action role-playing video game "Nier: Automata" will find its way to the PC on March 27.

Square Enix is offering a load of goodies to those who purchase the game's Day One Edition from any retailer. These include a Machine Mask accessory, the Grimoire Weiss Pod in addition to cardboard, retro red and retro grey pod skins.

Those who preorder "Nier: Automata" for PC will also get to enjoy an exclusive digital bonus content in the form of a Valve character accessory.

Game director Yoko Taro recently talked about the game on the PlayStation blog. There, he sent some love to the folks over at Platinum Games, who put "Nier: Automata" together.

"Everyone at Platinum Games who developed this game respected the previous title and created a spectacular game for us," he wrote, referring to the 2010 original that went on to become a cult classic.

"I was in charge of the scenario, but it's all poop so I don't want you to expect too much from it," Taro went on to say, his trademark modesty when it comes to his work shining through.

The "Nier: Automata" director also thanked fans for their massive support, which he recognizes as the force that made the release of the game possible.

"The true nature of a game is not a strong and charismatic director displaying his or her vision, but instead is something formed by some kind of an unknown passion felt by a greater number of people," Taro said.

He knows that not everyone will be happy about how "Nier: Automata," but he said that he hopes that it would "hold some kind of meaning to everyone that plays it."

Before launching to the PC, "Nier: Automata" will first be released for the PlayStation 4 tomorrow, March 7.
