Square Enix Releases Nier DLC

New downloadable content is now available for Nier.  The “World of Recycled Vessel” downloadable content pack will introduce 15 new special stages, new Shades, and other exclusive content.  In the downloadable content, the player will find a diary belonging to Nier’s wife on a bookshelf in the first floor of Nier’s home.  By opening the diary’s pages, Nier will travel to a dreamscape and begin the battle to obtain new powerful weapons and bold new costumes for Nier and his companions.

Additionally this new downloadable content will finally allow users in North America and elsewhere to play as “Young Nier,” a version of the title character previously only available in Nier RepliCant, the Japan-only version of the game exclusively on the PS3 in Japan.  [Nier RepliCant is only on Playstation 3 and only available in Japan.  The game offers the same core gameplay, story line, content and experience as Nier, with the only difference lying in the main character.  In Nier RepliCant, the protagonist is a young man fighting to save his sister Yonah, while in Nier, the hero is a grown man fighting to save his daughter, Yonah.]

Features of this new DLC include:

• 15 new areas and stages for players to explore throughout Nier’s main storyline, including new on-rails shooter stages, room challenges and additional surprises
• New configurations for existing areas and towns with original monsters to defeat along the way
• New costumes for Nier, Kaine and Emil to unlock, including Kabuki and Samurai
• New weapons to be unlocked through completion of the new stages

The “World of Recycled Vessel” downloadable content is available for 560 Microsoft points.
