Publisher Square Enix has announced that NieR: Automata has now surpassed 10 million copies sold worldwide.
To commemorate this impressive milestone, the company has released the following video, which goes over the game's journey and its various related projects over the years:
While this is notable news in itself, the video ends with a mysterious message: "Nier: Automata to be continued..."
This has caused fans to speculate wildly about what it means; some are saying Square Enix has effectively announced a sequel, while others suggest it may just be more merch, music concerts, and other related things.
Adding fuel to the fire is none other than Geoff Keighley, who has drawn more attention to the message in a post on social media:
It's difficult to really judge whether this is teasing something exciting like a full-blown follow-up, but at the very least, it seems Square Enix will continue celebrating the game going forward.

Hopefully this does result in us getting another entry in the series instead of the 50th collab lol.
I can't believe we've been waiting this long for more Nier: Automata. The game was such a hit and you still see its characters everywhere.
Nier Replicant sales also got an update. Now it's sold at 2 million copies.
But i'm just baffled with the way Square treated Nier and Drakengard. At this rate we probably already get Drakengard 1-3 remaster and a new Nier if Square really care with both IP's.
But eh, nothing new with how Square treated their IP's that doesn't have DQ, FF, and KH in the front cover.
I only played Nier Automata last year and safe to say it's now in my top 10 games of all time, really can't understand why they haven't made a 3rd one yet, literally sitting on a gold mine.
ME: "Can we get <Nier: Automata 2>?"
MOM: "We have <Nier: Automata 2> at home."
AT HOME: <Nier Reincarnation>
Hmm, Square seem content with its sales… how bout that? 🤔
I've bought this game on every console I own and would do it again... NieR is life 🥹
@get2sammyb love him or hate him, if Geoff Keighley has made a big deal out of it, I would expect some form of new Nier game announced at SGF. Hopefully it is a full sequel
Good news Love both Nier games
They can’t keep playing with my feelings like this…
