Square Enix's North American arm yesterday said it had slated Nier for a spring release. It's not confirmed if this also applies to Europe; we've contacted Square Enix to find out.
The action game developed by Cavia (creator of, among other things, Bullet Witch, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, KORG DS-10 and Lovely Complex: Punch de Conte) is for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, although there will be a second, PS3-exclusive version called Nier Replicant for Japan only.
Square Enix also seems keen to talk up the RPG features of what we previously thought was a straight hackandslash in the Devil May Cry mould.
"The Next RPG from Square Enix," trumpets the press release, which you can read at Team Xbox. "RPG Gameplay Injected With Action-Packed Combat," it continues. "Battle ferocious and mysterious enemies by combining proven RPG-style gameplay, such as magic, character development and faithful allies, with action-focused explosive swordplay and combat."
