In 2021, Square Enix released NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This is a full remake/remaster of the PS3 Replicant with official English text and voice options. It is the definitive way to play the "brother Nier" story in English.

Released worldwide, featuring an older father trying to save his daughter, Yonah.

: A PC to run the patching executable (often named stable_patch.exe ) which modifies the game's .DAT files.

Experiencing the story through the eyes of a teenage boy rather than a middle-aged father offers a different emotional weight. The ending hits differently when the relationship is defined by siblings growing up in a dying world rather than a father protecting a child.

However, the "canonical" version for Japanese PlayStation 3 owners was Nier Replicant . This version featured a younger protagonist (Brother Nier) trying to save his sister, Yonah, rather than his daughter. This subtle shift changes the dynamic of the story; the relationship is less paternal and more about the desperation of a sibling bond.
