PlatinumGames appears to be on the right track since the beginning of this year, especially since it is collaborating with Team Ninja on Ninja Gaiden 4. However, that is certainly not all; the developers are reportedly also working to announce a new NieR game.

An insider report doubles down on the earlier rumors but also suggests that PlatinumGames is going to specifically reveal a NieR: Automata sequel. In other words, we might see the story expand beyond the main canonical Ending E.

Why it matters: PlatinumGames focusing on this sequel instead of just another entry in the franchise is arguably the best decision, considering how popular the game has been across the media over the years.
