Here’s What Happened Before Nier: Automata’s Story Began

It's not every day we get to explore a game world as rich as that of Nier's. The recently released Nier: Automata introduces a wealth of lore for both newcomers and fans of the original to get acquainted with.

As pointed out in yesterday's tips guide, you don't have to play the previous instalment to enjoy Automata's bot-on-bot brawling. But players venturing into this weird and wonderful universe may find themselves asking a few questions. Questions like: "Where have all the humans gone?" "Why is Earth ruled by machines?" and "Who gave this blindfolded goth-loli a sword?"

To answer these -- and add some context to the game's post-apocalypse -- you'll need to take a look at the wider timeline of Nier. But to save you the trouble, we've poured through guidebooks, light novellas, and even a Yoko Taro penned stage play (Yes, really) to collect some of the most significant in-game events leading to Automata's opening act.
