Cavia's upcoming hack-n-slash action-RPG, NieR, has been given an official Japanese release date by the publisher, Square Enix.The story of a father trying to find a way to cure his young daughter from a mysterious plague (or a brother doing the same for his young sister, depending on which version you like), Cavia has stated that the game is an attempt to appeal to Western audiences, and will feature more blood and mature subject matter than many other Japanese RPGs. (I'm not sure blood and sex are truly the best way to make a game sell, but then, I'm not every gamer.)
As previously noted, there will be two versions of the game in Japan, each exclusive to either Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, titled NieR: Gestalt and NieR: Replicant, respectively, while North American and European gamers will only get NieR: Gestalt for both platforms, titled simply NieR.
Both NieR: Gestalt and NieR: Replicant will be available on their respective consoles on April 22, 2010 in Japan. Square Enix has yet to specify a date for North America or Europe beyond 'Spring 2010.'
