Square Enix is considering the option of releasing a demo for Nier: Automata - their new action game, developed by Platinum Games and announced at last year's E3 - before it launches, with the news coming from producer Yosuke Saito in an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu (via Gematsu).
"I'm thinking about whether something like a demo, for example, would be good to give users a chance to get their hands on the game. Rather than have users experience it within a short 10 or 20 minutes, I want users to properly experience NieR: Automata with a demo of a 30-to-40 minute, sit-down-and-play kind of volume."
When Famitsu asked Saito if Nier: Automata would be at Tokyo Game Show in September, Saito said: "While we've focused on showing the action up until now, I think we'll be able to debut a trailer that gives off an 'RPG'-like impression, so please look forward to it."
Nier: Automata is expected on PlayStation 4 in early 2017.
