Yoko Taro, NieR: Automata game director has announced last month that the game will be receiving a DLC to introduce new features and contents, which will entice existing and new players on the title. However, the game director also stressed out that the team has barely enough budget to release a "meaningful content." Weeks following that announcement, it appears that Square Enix finally gave the project a green light and thus pave the way to the new DLC dubbed "3C3C1D119440927 DLC."
NieR : Automata 3C3C1D119440927 DLC
The 3C3C1D119440927 DLC contains interesting new features, which include brand new challenges, new costumes, gears and new boss (more details below). Meanwhile, for those that are looking for the new set of in-game screenshots, check out the gallery for the upcoming DLC here.
New Challenges. Yoko Taro revealed that the upcoming DLC will introduce new arenas and enemies into the game (excluding the new boss). With the introduction of new enemies, NieR: Automata players will get to see new challenges upon purchase of the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC.
New Costumes and Gears. As shown in the gallery, 2B will be getting an enticing "revealing outfit" while 9S and A2 will be getting costumes based on the outfit of the protagonist in the first game. The game director noted that these sets are tailored to let players dress like the original NieR characters. Players will also see some cosmetic animation changes in the game, including new effects on enemy bullets, hair spray, etc.
New Boss. The DLC will also, surprisingly, introduce a new boss in the game. However, what makes this content unique is that, it will feature the CEO of Square Enix, Yosuke Matsuda and Kenichi Sato as two new bosses - which both can be fought on the upcoming new arenas. Check out one of the boss fights down below!
