'Nier' gets dated for 23rd April



RPG fans will be feeling a lot of love this year what with Mass Effect 2 just out the door, Fable III on the way, oh and some other little game too.
Now, they can also relish in the fact that the latest game from Square Enix, Nier Gestalt, or simply Nier, has been dated for April 23rd in the PAL region.

“NIER fuses fast-paced action with a mature and mysterious narrative. The game sees a new direction for Square Enix and one that will appeal to action, adventure and RPG fans,” Said Square Enix PAL boss Larry Sparks.

Its sister game, Neir Replicant will be released in the US and Japan exclusively on PlayStation 3, with no major differences apart from some character design.

We haven't seen or heard much from this title, but 2010 is shaping up to be the year of the RPG.
