Contrary to the original post on PC Gamers and I believe the PS4 site, the PC release date for NieR:Automata has NOT been confirmed to be the same as the PS4 dates of March 7 in North America and March 10 in Europe.
It appears that a source from Square Enix who previously confirmed these details had made a mistake and later retracted this statement.

The Blu-ray not only includes the music portion of the event but also the talk portion as well!
Song List
* The new NieR:Automata track titles was revealed in the 1st Live Broadcast on October 26. ** This is my translation of the original Japanese Title. Title: NieR Music Concert & Talk Live Blu-ray -Black of Destruction, White of Rebirth- |
And the NieR Music Concert will reprise their show (song list pending) at Tokaigi 2017, Saturday, February 11. More info on that here.
We finally have more information regarding the International release of NieR:Automata!
Firstly, here are the scheduled release dates for NA and EU regions:
NA: March 7, 2017
EU: March 10, 2017
So, it appears as though they weren’t able to get a simultaneous, worldwide release, but it’s pretty darn close to Japan’s release on February 23, 2017!! Great work, guys!!
Next, let’s take a look at the new trailer from the PlayStation Experience 2016:
Next, it appears as though there *will* be an International release of the Black Box Edition, however, it is not exactly the same. Here is what will come with the International Black Box Edition:
NA Black Box Edition: $189.99

There are some differences here between the Japanese release, but as far as International fans go, it’s probably a pretty damn good deal anyway. This set is lacking the “NieR RepliCant Recollection” novel and the original soundtrack here is not listed as the live audio recording from the NieR Music Concert & Talk Live as it most likely is, given it is 13 tracks.
I’m very curious about the SteelBook Case, though. Not sure how many people would actually use an item like that, but… since it’s an official item for the series, I hope it will become available on it’s own… 😛
Lastly, it looks like this set will come with 6 of the bonus DLC, many of which are skins for Pod. The Japanese release only includes Grimoire Weiss with the Black Box Edition and the Machine Mask from the e-STORE.
Moving on, here is the Day One Edition release of the game alone. It comes with an interesting box art illustration for the International release. It is also reversible so you can also have the gorgeous cover illustration by lead character designer Yoshida Akihiko.
NA Day One Edition: $59.99
Pre-order Here

And the last bit of news is that the PSN demo will be available soon. Have fun with that, guys, when it drops! I don’t have a PS4 yet, so… ;_;
That’s about all of the announcements thus far, but should there be more, I’ll update this post as more news becomes known!
