After countless rumours, the Nier Automata anime has now been officially confirmed.

This announcement came with a new trailer, which can be watched below.

A translation of its description states: "The stage is a far future where humanity is defeated by the moon in front of the overwhelming force of 'mechanical life forms' that aliens carry out. '2B' belonging to the newly organised Android unit 'YoRHa' will throw themselves into a fierce battle to recapture the earth".
