Meanwhile, after announcing the "Nier: Automata" PS4 release, Square Enix revealed that a free demo version will be available this month. The demo will be launched on the PlayStation Store on Dec. 22.

"With an abandoned factory as the backdrop, the demo follows android 2B's mission to destroy a massive enemy weapon that lies within," the press release states, according to Game Spot.

Apart from the date, Square Enix also revealed that the game's sequel will have two different versions. There will be a Day One edition which comes with reversible box art and digital content as well as a Black Box edition that comes in a special box.

The Black Box edition can only be purchased on the online store of Square Enix at $190 which includes a 2B Figurine, art book, soundtrack, steel book case, and digital goodies of the Day One edition.

Square Enix developed "NieR: Automata" with Platinum Games which assures gamers that this will indeed be an interesting third-person action role-playing game. The design of the game is still the same from its original NieR giving players the same mood and fight system. New characters and storylines will be featured in the new sequel.
