Xbox fans will finally be able to experience the signature, exhilarating action combat from PlatinumGames’ modern classic and dive into the story of an apocalyptic future where man and machine lifeforms are at war over the fate of the world in NieR: Automata Become as Gods Edition on Xbox One.

You’re part of the YoRHa android squad, sent by humans to fight against the alien machine lifeform invaders. Since it’s your sole duty to fight, you can wield different weapons in each hand, able to mix and match freely between four weapon types during battle. The scope of action goes even deeper by switching weapon sets and charging your attacks.

The war for Earth is ongoing between man and machine lifeform. Man has sent combat-ready androids to fight the war, but you’re not the only ones. To gain footholds on the planet, androids have set up basecamp, and need your help in aiding the Resistance. Androids can be upgraded, and they will be able to find various chips in the game to enhance themselves to grow more powerful. In addition, they need parts, items and more to enhance their weapons and Pods. Aside from the main storyline, you’ll find many areas that include rewarding side quests in your attempt to reclaim Earth for mankind.
