Square Enix has announced that Nier Replicant is headed to Steam, 10 years after its debut as a PlayStation 3 exclusive that was only available in Japan. The re-release was announced during the NieR 10-year anniversary livestream, and you can watch the new teaser trailer below. This version of the game is officially titled Nier: Replicant ver.1.2247448739… , which is incredibly annoying to type but certainly fits with the overall feel of designer Yoko Taro's strange RPG world. Square Enix says NieR Replicant has been "rebuilt" for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and that the game will be arriving on Steam when it launches. There's no indication yet of when that will be happening, and the Steam page hasn't gone live, so you can't even put it on your wishlist yet. Bummer. However, there's still plenty of reasons to be excited about a modern-ish re-release of Replicant. The NieR timeline is nightmarishly convoluted, both in terms of narrative continuity and release calendars, but here goes: Replicant is the Japan-exclusive version of NieR Gestalt (often just called 'Nier'), which itself is a continuation of a specific ending from 2003's Drakengard.
