We may be sensationalising a bit with our reasoning, but the bit about Nier saving Platinum has some truth to it. Thanks to Reddit user BRSxlgnition for this nugget of a tweet from Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya, effectively crediting Yoko Taro and Nier for giving his studio a new wind, going so far as to say that “to say that Yoko-san saved Platinum would not be an exaggeration.” We can only speculate about how things were going at the absolute workhorse of a studio, but maybe the cancellation of Scalebound for the XBox One hit harder than was let on. In any case, Nier: Automata being should be enough incentive to buy and play it (ideally on PS4 as the PC version is still without official patching) , but potentially saving one of the most exciting Japanese studio of thge past decade? Dig in and help out some more!
