Jump Festa 2017 | Fire Sanctuary

Today was the first day of Jump Festa 2017 held at the same location as Tokyo Game Show, Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Although this event was mostly to showcase multiple series of Jump comics, many other gaming companies also had booths for fans to stop by, purchase merchandise, and maybe even play a demo of a new game.

＊ For anyone interested in seeing more general photos that I took at Jump Festa, you can view my photos here.

There wasn’t much fanfare for NieR:Automata at this event, but we did get a new trailer as well as the new 2B / YoRHa hoodie!

As of yet, Square Enix has not posted their official trailer video to their YouTube account, but they did stream it live…from which Gematsu sucked it up and spat it out in the form of this video:

Here hare some additional screens from the new trailer:

The robotic face pictured above is actually the “head” of this gigantic machine.

Just a couple days ago (maybe yesterday, even? I’ve lost track…), Producer Yosuke Saito posted a couple photos of a sweet hoodie with the YoRHa logo and 2B, but we’ve just learned more about it.

Apparently, NieR:Automata will be featured at the Jump Festa on December 17 and 18! They will be releasing a new trailer as well as offering this cool hoodie for 4,200 yen at the official SQEX Goods Shop! But be prepared… it’s only available in one size: Large! I don’t really know why they couldn’t offer other sizes, but…. 😛 The hoodie will eventually go to the e-STORE after this event.
