NieR Automata PS5 PlayStation 5 1

Looks like Square Enix has received its PlayStation 5 devkits, as the company’s First Development Division is currently busy beavering away on a new intellectual property for console. The studio – which is also behind the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake – claims that it’s working with an “international team of creators” to realise a “next-generation action game experience that goes beyond the framework of existing action games”.

Our guess is that this is still early in development so we probably won’t see it for a while – and that’s assuming that the project gets off the ground at all. It’s hard to speculate about the nature of the title with so little to go on, but we’re always excited by new ideas.
