Viz Media Will Release Nier: Automata Novel Adaptations in North America

Viz Media has announced plans to bring Square Enix’s novel adaptations of Nier: Automata to North America for the first time.

Both novels were written by Jun Eishima, and were based on Game Director Yoko Taro’s original story for the game. Nier: Automata: Long Story Short (Volume 1) will be published this Fall and Nier: Automata: Short Story Long (Volume 2) will be available in Spring 2019:

When alien forces invade with an army of Machines, the remnants of humanity must depend on Androids of their own design ā€“ the placid 2B and the excitable 9S ā€“ to survive.

The publisher will reveal more details about both novels at a later date.
