GRIMOIRE NieR: Revised Edition (Japanese)

Amazon has opened pre-orders for the updated “Revised Edition” of NieR Replicant Ver.1.22474487139… Complete Guide and Strategy book “GRIMOIRE NieR” slated for release on July 9, 2021 for 2,970 yen (tax included)! You may place your orders for the Japanese version here.

  • Title: NieR Replicant Ver.1.22… The Complete Guide & Setting Materials
  • Release Date: July 9, 2021
  • Size: A4
  • Pages: 272
  • ISBN: 9784047335417

The book is scheduled to have 272 pages, for a total of 48 additional pages worth of content than the original release of the book in 2010.

For those of you wondering if there might ever be an official English release of Grimoire NieR, whether it be the old or new version, I would have to say the likelihood of an English release of the Revised Edition is extremely high, given the fact that all guidebooks and strategy guides for NieR:Automata, including its companion novels, have been officially translated and released in English. I would assume that SQEX would like to release this officially in English as well, perhaps under their own Manga & Books label or maybe through DarkHorse Comics again…!

Please stay tuned for further updates on this topic!

NieR Re[in]carnation – 28 Artists Illustration Campaign

Updated: April 3, 2021 – 3:09pm

Now that the NieR Re[in]carnation 28 artists illustration campaign is largely over (the giveaway portion is still ongoing), it’s time to gather everything together to showcase this amazing artwork!

This campaign is part of the 10 million downloads celebration in which 28 artists participated in illustrating characters from the game. The official NieR Re[in]carnation Twitter account began posting images several times a day from March 20-31. Those who follow and retweet the images are entered into a final giveaway contest in which 100 lucky winners will be given an illustration book that includes all of these images.

Below you’ll find a list of the participating artists. Click on a name to be brought directly to that artist’s illustration, or merely scroll down the page to view all images. Some artists currently have no additional information for them, but this will be added at a later date.

I’ve also included brief information on the artist and any personal/professional links they may have. You are also able to jump to the individual tweet where the artwork was originally posted.
