NieR:Automata Game of the YoRHa Editionfor PlayStation 4 will grant access to an exclusive dynamic theme for your home screen on the console which was announced alongside the GOTY edition of the game and now has an image showing just what exactly it will look like. Sadly there is no video of the theme so we’re not entirely show how “dynamic” it will really be as themes are rarely super active.
This Game of the Year edition ofNieR:Automatawas first teased by anESRBdescription that appeared in November 2018 and was set to come to PlayStation 4 and PC, leaving Xbox One out in the dust. It was officially announced byYoko Taro, director of the game, in December 2018 in a bizarre tweet about adding numbers together to reach a meaningless number, just like life. It’s fitting for Yoko Taro, and somewhat related to the themes ofNieR:Automatawhich centers on an eternal conflict between androids created by humans and machines sent to invade earth by unseen aliens.
