If you've been eagerly awaiting the upcoming sequel to Square Enix's cult hit, Nier, you'll have to wait a little bit longer: The company has announced that Platinum Games' Nier: Automata has been delayed to early 2017.

In a press release, the company announced the change to the action RPG's release date, although it did not state any specific reason for the delay. The game was originally slated for a 2016 release when it was officially revealed. Square Enix also released a new trailer for the game, which you can watch below.

Nier: Automata was originally announced back at E3 2015, and over the year Square Enix has slowly revealed more about the game.
