The now defunct Japanese game developer Cavia ( Drakengard , Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles ) developed the original game NieR as a spin-off of the series Drakengard in 2010. Square Enix released versions of the game for two different consoles: NieR shape for Xbox 360 and NieR Replicant for PlayStation 3. NieR Replicant featured a different character design for the protagonist and small differences in the plot. NieR was the last game developed by Cavia before being disbanded and absorbed by AQ Interactive Inc. in July 2010.
