NieR Automata Characters Will Appear in Octopath Traveler Mobile Game (original) (raw)

The Octopath Traveler mobile game will receive guest characters from NieR Automata. Square Enix revealed the in-house collaboration between its popular game IPs on the Japanese Twitter account for Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. The three main characters from NieR Automata — 2B, 9S, and A2 — will be recruitable.

The NieR Automata crossover content will appear for a limited time in the Japanese version in March 2022. Square Enix will add a one-time free 10-roll gacha that guarantees someone will get 9S. It will also hold a multi-step paid gacha that lets players randomly recruit 2B, 9S, or A2. A special request involving virus removal will also appear for the duration of the event.

Square Enix also published new trailers showcasing the NieR Automata guest characters in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. These videos show that the original Japanese voice actors — Yui Ishikawa, Natsuki Hanae, and Ayaka Suwa — will reprise their roles as 2B, 9S, and A2.
