Story

Demo 120161128

2B, supported by 9S, is sent to the Factory to eliminate their target. After making her way through the facility and being attacked several times by Goliath wheels, 2B makes her way out of the facility without having found her target. 9S informs her that there is another facility across the bridge, but that it’s unusual for command to get the location of a target wrong. 2B then tells him that they weren’t wrong, as she is attacked by Goliath.

A fight ensues, leading to 9S joining the fight, only to be slammed off his flight unit by Goliath. When Goliath is down, 2B makes her way to the top of him to find a mortally wounded 9S. He implores 2B to leave him to finish the mission and destroy the target. 2B hesitantly complies and takes his flight unit to defeat Goliath. After the target is destroyed, 2B and 9S reunite, only for three more Goliaths to appear and attack them. 2B and 9S are forced to detonate their black boxes in order to destroy the Goliaths, but their fates are left unknown.

NieR:Automata

The events of the 14th Machine War unfold through three main characters’ perspectives, 2B, 9S, and A2, all of whom fight as the last remnants of human civilization against otherworldly invaders. The battle is not so black-and-white, however, as the androids begin to question their own motives and the world in which they inhabit whilst being thrown into difficult situations and moral dilemmas.
