were delighted to have the game delayed since it gave them time to polish the game, improve the quality, and to apply balances to the game. NieR: Automata was initially set to release in November of 2016 but to avoid any clash in terms of commercial performance against other titles that Square Enix was going to release, it was delayed until 2017 for the game to succeed commercially - Yoko himself and PlatinumGames Inc.

The title was then kept secret to avoid spoilers of the game's plot until a gameplay trailer was revealed at the 2015 Paris Games Week trade show. In 2015 at Square Enix's press conference during E3, NieR: Automata was announced under the title of Nier New Project. In December 2014, Yoko confirmed that he was working on a new game project but did not disclose any more details. Back in January 2014, Yoko Taro, game director of NieR: Automata, creator of Drakengard, and game director of Drakengard 3, conveyed interest in making a spin-off title from the Drakengard series, but, he did not specify that it would be related to the NieR franchise.
