According to a recent tweet by Producer Saito Yosuke, NieR:Automata has hit a significant period in its development and has “gone gold”, completing the Gold master* of the game well ahead of schedule.

Gold master: Gold master is the final game’s build that is used as a master for production of the game.

Here’s what Saito Yosuke had said in his tweet:

最近の流行りらしいから書けと言われたので書きますが、「ニーア オートマタはマスターアップしました！（随分前に）」というわけで、発売まで諸々よろしくお願い申し上げます。 #NieR pic.twitter.com/BPOyNipM08

“I was asked to write this since it will quickly go viral, but “NieR:Automata has gone Gold (quite a while ago)”, so please look forward to the game’s release!” ーSaito Yosuke

So it appears as though there is no worry of a delay before the scheduled release date! That’s very reassuring news! Today marks 20 days until the game’s release!! Hang in there, everybody!
