Square Enix has announced that Nier, a new action RPG for Xbox 360 and PS3 from Cavia, will be released worldwide on April 23, 2010.

Players assume the role of the unyielding protagonist, Nier, resolute in his quest to discover a cure for his daughter, infected with the Black Scrawl disease. Armed with a powerful set of magical abilities as well as mighty swords and armour, Nier will do battle alongside a set of formidable allies against waves of dark enemies and giant bosses to discover the truth about the disease, his daughter… and himself.

“The game sees a new direction for Square Enix and one that will appeal to action, adventure and RPG fans. We look forward to its release across PAL territories,” said Larry Sparks, Vice President Brands PAL Region of Square Enix Ltd.
