Nier: Automata’s anime debut had been hit by an unexpected delay a few weeks back, and now the series has finally set a release date for its new episodes now that Nier: Automata Ver1.1a is gearing up for its return from hiatus! The first three episodes of the new anime taking on the massively successful Square Enix video game franchise hit screens without any real issue, but following the third episode it was suddenly announced that there would be an indefinite delay from Episode 4 on due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the production schedule.
