NieRgets ready to breach and clear
TheNieRseries has crossed over into the worlds ofPUBG,Soulcalibur, andFinal Fantasy XIV. And now,NieRalso joins the cameo ranks of Ubisoft’sRainbow Six Siege.
Ubisoftrevealed todaythat aNieRcosmetic bundle is making its way intoRainbow Six Siege, arriving on November 21. The bundle isn’t the only one on the way, either. A stinger at the end teases more to come, with 2B’s boots and this tagline: “A YoRHa soldier is approaching… Glory to mankind!”
Looks like we’ll learn more on November 21, when Ubisoft reveals the entirety of its next season, Operation Solar Raid. There, according to Ubisoft, we’ll get more “NieRgoodness” forSiege.
NieRand dear to our heart
The bundle shown off today is for Maverick, an Attack operator with a blowtorch. The set looks like it includes a cosmetic skin based off thebrother Nier’s appearance, rather than Papa Nier. I do like the design of the guns, as it’s reminiscent of the black-and-gold aesthetic of the Shades. Grimoire Weiss is included in the bundle too, seemingly as a weapon charm.
As I mentioned before, this is hardly the firstNieRcrossover. Both the originalNieRandNieR: Automatahave crossed over into other games. In some cases, likeFinal Fantasy XIV‘s raid series, they even contain some additional details for fans.
I doubtRainbow Six Siegewill hold any deep lore tidbits, but I can’t rule it out. It’s a goofy and enjoyable crossover though, and one that made me fondly reminisce on series director Yoko Taro’s response inour latest interview with him.
