NieR Replicant is a third-person action game developed by the popular Japanese company Square Enix. The story is set in a world overrun by monstrous creatures and a virus called Black Scrawl. As the titular Nier, we set out to find a cure for the infected daughter.

First reports about the game NieR indicated that the new production of Cavia studio, known for such titles as Drakengard and Bullet Witch, will be a multiplatform slasher with RPG elements. The presentation at the E3 fair in 2009 was also a confirmation of this conviction. A little later the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu announced that a game called NieR Gestalt would only be released on Xbox 360, but Cavia did not forget about the owners of PlayStation 3 and just a few days later the world learned that the studio was working on a little different game called NieR Replicant, aimed exclusively at Sony consoles.

As if there was little confusion with NieR, the publisher, Square Enix, decided that NieR Gestalt (under the abbreviated title NieR) will be released on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Western markets. Replicant remained, however, an "exclusive" PS3 title.

Series NieR was launched in 2010 by the now-defunct Cavia studio. Subsequent installments of the series were created under the banners of different producers, but all of them were supervised by brand creator Yoko Taro, and published by Square Enix. Keiichi Okabe is responsible for the games' musical settings. NieR is spin-off Drakengard (the authors considered the fifth ending of the first game in the series to be canonical).
