Square Enix Is Releasing A "NieR:Automata" Novel Next Fall

At Anime NYC this week, Square Enix revealed their book division would be publishing several 2020 titles, including one based on NieR:Automata. The novel will be called NieR:Automata YoRHa Boys, which will be written by Jun Eishima and supervised by game director YOKO TARO. As well as artwork by Final Fantasy illustrator Toshiyuki Itahana. The story takes place before the beginning of the main RPG and will focus on YoRHa Experimental Unit M. Which is a squadron composed of YoRHa male type models that are "established for the purpose of collecting a full range of behavioral data". No official date was given beyond the Fall of 2020, but we do have a list of other books they will be releasing ahead of it.
