Square Enix recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of the cult JRPG Nier\u2019s launch on PS3 and Xbox 360 with an exciting livestream that detailed the series\u2019 future. Not only was a remake of the original announced in the form of Nier Replicant (for PS4, Xbox One, and PC) but a mobile exclusive entry is also in the works.<\/p>\n

Nier Reincarnation<\/a> launches a closed beta across Android and iOS later this month, though it\u2019s only open to people in Japan right now. There are 10,000 spots available for both platforms, and registrations are open until July 26. However, if the closed beta is oversubscribed, who gets to play is decided with a lottery draw. Sounds fair to us!<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know that much about Nier Reincarnation just yet, but we\u2019re able to surmise some details from the most recent trailer. Reincarnation seems to feature a young female protagonist, with a ghost-like companion, and in the trailer we see her wandering through expansive open locations, such as a stone city in the sky. The game also shows some party-based combat, and pretty fancy side-scrolling 2D sections.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a whole lot to go on, but you can check out the trailer below for more visual details on the game:<\/p>\n

Aside from what we see in the trailer, we know Square Enix is producing while Applibot is tasked with development duties. Cydesignation is also working on character design, and we know that Reincarnation takes place in a new Nier location called \u2018The Cage\u2019.<\/p>\n

Square Enix has launched an official website dedicated to the game in Japan, so you can bookmark that if you\u2019re desperate to learn more. It\u2019s pretty bare bones, but chances are it will receive regular updates as we head towards launch. If you\u2019re the social media type, you can also follow the official Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> pages to receive updates directly.<\/p>\n
