Nier is an action-RPG putting players in the shoes of a father attempting to cure his daughter of a terrible plague. The game was produced by Square Enix, and features a fast, new style of gameplay not usually seen in their RPG titles. Yesterday, they released the game's launch trailer.

Square Enix today have released a new trailer for the upcoming PS3 and XBOX360 title NIER. Watch the video below, as it introduces Nier's companion, Kaine

As promised yesterday, Square Enix has put out the TGS 2009 trailer for their upcoming Cavia-developed PS3 title NieR RepliCant, where it involves a brother questing to save his sister.



For those wondering about the 360 NieR, that NieR is NieR Gestalt, which has a father trying to save his daughter.

Next week is the Tokyo Game Show 2009, which runs from September 24th to 27th.

With Square Enix announcing their E3 lineup, all eyes have been looking for that 'killer' title. While they have several strong offerings this year, Nier has a strange and intriguing contrast lacking in others. It features fantasy-action gameplay set in the ruins of our modern world (skyscrapers, etc). No doubt it is a total hack-and-slash but the trailer is still neat to look at for its style.
