Square Enix has launched a new trailer for NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC-via Steam as a rebuilt version of the third-person action-RPG.

The video introduces the main protagonist in his youth as he finds his way through the desert kingdom of Façade with a team of companions, Kainé and Grimoire Weiss. After his visit he must investigate the Barren Temple, where his exploration culminates in a boss battle against a swarm of mysterious, sentient cubes.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 is being developed with Toylogic and brings together the entire development staff. Those working on the project are:

• Director – YOKO TARO (Drakengard / NieR: Automata)
• Composer – Keiichi Okabe (Tekken / Drakengard / NieR: Automata)
• Producer – Yosuke Saito (Dragon Quest X / NieR: Automata)

This will provide fans of the series a chance to play the game that never came west as it acts as a prequel to the events of NieR: Automata.

Additionally, Xbox gamers who haven’t experienced the NieR: Automata can do so when the game launches on Xbox Game Pass on April 2.
