Homura Hime is here to fill the Nier-sized hole in your life

Believe it or not, Nier: Automata is almost a decade old. Given how successful it’s been — over 10 million copies sold as of Feb. 2026 — it’s surprising the beloved game hasn’t gotten a proper sequel yet. Last month, a YouTube video teased “Nier: Automata to be continued…” and I don’t think Square Enix was referring solely to the Nier collaboration with Overwatch. While fans wait for the next Nier game, they can check out the next best thing: Homura Hime, a new hack-and-slash with an anime aesthetic.
