NieR:Automata makes it into the top five today in Famitsu’s Top 30 most anticipated games! We’re down to less than a month from release now, so I expect this to not be the end of its climb to the top!!

This week breaks a record-high placing for NieR:Automata in Famitsu’s Top 30 ranking list for upcoming titles!

The previous high ranking was at 16th place from the July 14 No.1440 issue released on July 7, 2016. …and even Yoko Taro was seemingly skeptical that it would place any higher than that.

@RekkaAlexiel これ以上上がるのは無理かと……

It’s rocketing up the list! —Rekka Alexiel
There’s no way it’ll go up any higher…… —Yoko Taro

I guess this showed him! xD
