It's been a while since there has been any worthwhile PC JRPG news, which is, of course, what I'm here for. Today, however, I have the best news - news of the year - for those of you who care not only about Gamescom or how we were put on inXile/Techland's black list.

Namely, NieR: Automata, the action-RPG sequel to the 2010 cult-classic NieR developed by Platinum Games, directed by Taro Yoko and published by Square Enix, has been confirmed as coming to PC (Steam) in addition to PS4 in "early 2017." This was apparently announced in IGN's Gamescom stream, but it's now on Facebook too. Here's the excerpt from the stream that concerns the PC announcement, featuring the ever masked Taro Yoko:



Gotta love how he's pronouncing "Valve". Here's a gif of the announcement, too.

You can also watch IGN's Gamescom interview with the team here. It also includes the latest trailer for the game.
