The official website of the NieR:Automata Ver1.1a television anime series announced on Saturday that the broadcast of episode 4 and onward will be postponed until further notice due to the impact of COVID-19 on the production. The series will rebroadcast the first 3 episodes starting January 29.

Ryouji Masuyama (Blend-S) is directing the anime series at A-1 Pictures. Masuyama is also in charge of the series composition alongside the video game’s original creator Taro Yoko. Jun Nakai (Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo) is serving as both the character designer and chief animation director. MONACA (Summertime Render) is composing the music.

The anime series adapts PlatinumGames’ NieR:Automata action role-playing game, which was published by Square Enix on PlayStation 4 in Japan in February 2017, followed by North America and PAL countries in March of that year. The game was also released on PC in the same month and on Xbox One in June 2018. The game serves as a sequel to the 2010 video game NieR—a spin-off to the Drakengard game series.
