NieR: Automata Synopsis
In a post-apocalyptic world invaded by
“mechanical life forms” created by aliens, humanity prepares for its last
battle. Forced to retreat to the Moon in search of safety, humans pin their
hopes on a group of artificial androids known as YoRHa soldiers. Led by the
multi-role battle droid YoRHa 2-gou B-gata “2B,” the group will fight to wrest
control of Earth from its invaders.
As the war against the machines intensifies,
YoRHa slowly begins to see the first fragments of the truth underlying the
brutal conflict. Faced with harsh reality, the unwavering warrior 2B begins to
question her very existence and the extent to which she must sacrifice herself
for the good of humanity.
