NieR: Automata – The End of YoRHa Edition recently got a trailer that showed off some fights from the game’s opening level—the Abandoned Factory. The trailer showed off a few fights against machine bosses.

The Switch port of NieR: Autommata targets 1080p resolution while the system is docked, and 720p when played in handheld mode. Nier: Automata is also available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and the game has shipped over 6.5 million copies as of June this year.

The Abandoned Factory plays a pivotal role in the story. It’s the initial area that 2B and 9S investigate, bringing them face-to-face with several giant machine bosses. Later, its host to a dangerous cult of Machines located deep within. Suffice it to say that if you’re going in blind, there are some spoilers in the trailer that should be avoided.

NieR: Automata – The End of YoRHa Edition releases on October 6th for Nintendo Switch. It features the base game, the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC, and the 6C2P4A118680823 DLC, which adds six new costumes, four accessories, and two Pod skins. For more details on the base game, check out our review here.

The City Ruins are, as the name implies, the ruins of an extensive city that have been reclaimed by nature. Along with extensive vegetation, there’s a large, totally innocuous cavern beneath and the Resistance camp where players can interact with various NPCs, vendors, and more. While hostile machines are roaming about, there’s wildlife like moose and boars that can serve as mounts and plough through foes.

Along with the base game and 3C3C1D119440927 DLC, NieR: Automata – The End of YoRHa Edition includes an exclusive new DLC called 6C2P4A118680823. This adds six new costumes, two each for 9S, 2B and A2; four accessories, including the White Fox and Black Fox masks; and two pod skins from NieR Re[in]carnation, Mama and Carrier.

9S is one of three playable characters in the story and, unlike 2B, tends to be more emotional about matters. In The End of YoRHa Edition, he receives some new exclusive outfits, including a hakama and mask, and a white version of his default attire. Whether the Switch version includes any additional content remains to be seen.
